Community Advancement

Turning access into action.

Public sector officials and professionals play a vital role in the growth and development of vibrant communities. The marketplaces and spaces where people shop, dine, work, play and gather contribute more than $120 billion annually in sales taxes to state and local governments. At ICSC, we facilitate opportunities for retail to help improve the quality of life in local communities.
