Title
Fairfax Renaissance Development Corp.
Description
Fairfax Renaissance Development Corporation (FRDC) was incorporated in the spring of 1992 as the primary development entity in the Fairfax neighborhood. The agency is a nonprofit community development corporation whose mission is “To improve and enhance the Fairfax neighborhood through community, economic and physical development.”
FRDC has steadily grown since 1992, and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2002. The organization moved into its new office building in June 2002, which allowed all of FRDC’s programs and activities to be at one central location.
The FRDC Board of Directors governs the agency and sets its policies and procedures. The Board is comprised of both neighborhood residents and representatives of organizations and institutions operating in Fairfax.
“FRDC has been an anchor for the community. They’re like a landmark - the investment of the new facility lets you know they’re here to stay. Fairfax has prime real estate, is centrally located and there are a lot of wonderful business ventures on the horizon. Because of FRDC’s vision, my property has increased in value three times. One thing I love about FRDC under Vickie Eaton Johnson’s leadership is they help all of us connect … the buyer with the seller; and they make all information readily available.”
