Our Work
HISTORIC LINCOLN PARK CHURCH FACADE
Lincoln Park’s South Park Calvary Presbyterian Church is one of the oldest anchor institutions in the Lincoln Park Neighborhood and a symbol of freedom for Black, Indigenous People of Color in Newark. It was a house of worship where Black ministers were often invited to preach while also served as the home to Newark’s largest women’s club- The Contemporary Club. It was Newark’s first racially integrated presbyterian church and an architectural to behold. Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District (LPCCD) began restoration around 2008, just before the economic downturn.
LINCOLN PARK TEN YEAR NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
The residents and stakeholders of Lincoln Park, along with the Community Assistance Preservation Corporation and the Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District, utilized a planning grant from the Wells Fargo Regional Foundation (now known as the Regional Foundation) to evaluate the needs of the neighborhood, establish goals, and develop a 10-year plan for its future.
NEWARK 360 MASTER PLAN
Newark360 is the City of Newark’s Resident Driven 10-Year Master Plan. The Newark360 plan aims to improve the physical form of Newark, New Jersey. The methodology was based on a comprehensive citywide engagement process called Newark Forward which included Virtual Outreach, In-Person Workshops, Citywide Survey and Youth Engagement.
