Southwest Supermarket Project CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR THE JUBILEE SHOPPER'S CLUB Jubilee Homes of Syracuse, Inc is excited to officially launch its latest development initiative in the Southwest Community for a Neighborhood Supermarket. The development of this neighborhood supermarket is part of a larger community driven initiative coined as the Midland-Lincoln-Bellevue Project. The Midland-Lincoln-Bellevue Project was conceptualized by neighborhood residents and community organizations as a comprehensive way to improve the conditions of a blighted neighborhood. The project includes several phases that are inclusive of; improvements in the existing housing stock, new residential construction, and South Avenue commercial corridor enhancements. The Jubilee Homes Neighborhood Supermarket Initiative is designed to address some of the challenges faced by citizens on the southwest side of Syracuse such as: the lack of or limited access to fresh, nutritious, and affordable foods, and transportation issues that are a result of the need to travel outside of the neighborhood to meet household needs. The New Neighborhood Supermarket will address the aforementioned issues by giving our local residents convenient access to healthy food products. This Initiative will also create employment opportunities for local residents and serve as a visual investment to improve the negative perception of the neighborhood. Objectives The broader goal of the project is to develop a full-service neighborhood grocery store that sells an array of fresh produce, canned goods, meat and dairy products, and a diverse supply of household products. Sustainability/Efficiency: Much of the inventory will come from local growers and food producers. The Jubilee Homes’ Neighborhood Supermarket will also employ energy efficient materials/appliances to “build” and operate the market Food Security: The Jubilee Homes’ Neighborhood Supermarket is dedicated to building a sustainable local food system that guarantees access to affordable and nutritious foods for area residents Workforce Development: The Neighborhood Supermarket will offer; employment opportunities to local residents (including senior citizens) provide fair wages & benefits, and provide continual employee training opportunities. Community Impact The Neighborhood Supermarket will serve as a visual investment to spur further investment in the area serving as a catalyst aimed at improving commercial opportunities and services available to area residents, as well as improving the aesthetic nature of the neighborhood and commercial corridor.
