Our Mission is to create jobs, by creating and expanding Green businesses and provide training in the growing green economy so families throughout the region can achieve economic self-sufficiency while creating more sustainable communities.
Greater Bridgeport Community Enterprises (GBCE) is poised for rapid growth and expansion through deepening collaborations with current partners. We anticipate opening new green low-tech, labor-intensive enterprises to create jobs for unemployed disadvantaged residents.
Our current and future enterprises will all embody the “triple bottom line” of environmental sustainability: social good in hiring disadvantaged residents; economic development to address unemployment and poverty; to build the tax base for Bridgeport; and to revitalize the city’s neighborhoods. Our current activity has created 20 jobs that put more than $400,000 in salaries back into the local community.
At GBCE, we believe in a hand up, not a hand out.
