Maryland’s International Corridor Community Development Corporation DBA Northern Gateway CDC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in the State of Maryland.

We represent a collection of community members, organizations, civic leaders, and businesses dedicated to making the Northern Gateway a great place to visit, live, and work.

Our Mission

To strengthen the commercial corridor and revitalize neighborhoods in the Northern Gateway. We do this through market-based activities intended to increase the quality of life for residents and the economic potential for small businesses in our community.

Our History

The Maryland International Corridor Community Development Corporation was incorporated in 1997.

It has been made abundantly clear that the Takoma Langley Crossroads area, particularly the Prince George’s portion, could benefit greatly from the presence of an effective community development corporation. With the assistance of Councilmember Deni Taveras, Langley Park has precisely that in the form of the Northern Gateway CDC. The CDC helps the community by providing small business assistance and can act as a conduit for engagement between the community and the local government. The organization has a clear alignment with the mission of the Purple Line Corridor Coalition, but the organization’s capacity is limited by virtue of its small budget and the fact that it opened its doors in summer 2018. As the Northern Gateway CDC grows in power and influence, it could be an extraordinary facilitator for equitable Transit Oriented Development.
