Bethel New Life, Inc.

Bethel New Life, Inc. is a 25-year-old nonprofit faith-based community development corporation located and working in Chicago's West Garfield Park neighborhood.

Bethel is nationally known for its pioneering community development initiatives, especially in the arenas of sustainable urban community, smart growth in an urban context, and brownfields redevelopment. Bethel has been a part of the cleanup and redevelopment of seven brownfields sites in Chicago that have provided major economic stimuli to a low-income community.

As a result of this experience, Bethel staff has led workshops at U.S. EPA conferences, sustainable community conferences, and as a part of the environmental curriculum of the University of Delaware.
