Commercial
Commercial ownership in a land trust is a powerful tool for promoting community economic development and preserving affordability for small businesses. By owning the land, Rondo CLT can ensure that commercial properties remain accessible and affordable for small businesses over the long term. This is helpful in combating rapid gentrification, where small businesses may otherwise struggle to afford increasing rents.
