People First: Russell’s Greatest Asset
Russell residents lead every decision — from board seats to street designs. Through workgroups, storytelling, and the Partnership Pledge, we’re co-creating a future where Black families thrive.
Placekeeping, Not Just Placemaking
Every brick laid and business launched follows one rule: Russell’s history stays rooted here. From anti-displacement grants to cultural hubs, we’re investing in spaces that honor the past while building wealth for the future.

Local Success Stories
Get inspired by the journeys of entrepreneurs who have grown their businesses with support from Russell: A Place of Promise programs
After joining the Small Business Accelerator, I gained the skills and support I needed to grow my café and take it to the next level. The program provided resources, expert advice, and a network of fellow entrepreneurs that helped me feel confident in my decisions. I expanded my menu, attracted more customers, and connected with others who share my passion for building a stronger community.
