Mission Statement
The Ketchum Community Development Corporation (KCDC) is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization formed by the leaders of the City of Ketchum in July 2006 as part of an overall revitalization plan that also included a Downtown Master Planning exercise and the formation of the Ketchum Urban Renewal Agency (KURA).
To enhance our vibrant community and quality of life by leveraging public and private resources to foster economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability.

The KCDC’s mission is to implement and manage strategic programs necessary to:
Support Ketchum Downtown revitalization as defined in the Downtown Master Plan
Create adequate affordable workforce housing in collaboration with the City of Ketchum, KURA and other appropriate entities
Facilitate sustainable community development practices via adoption of leading edge alternative energy systems, technology and environmental management practices
Attract a variety of resources to support mission oriented programming and collaborate as appropriate with other community development entities in this process
