Mission Statement

The mission of Mt. Airy USA is to preserve, empower and advance a vibrant and diverse Mt. Airy by stimulating development responsive to the community’s needs.

Description

Mt. Airy USA was founded in 1980, by residents of East and West Mt. Airy who had tired of blighted and dilapidated buildings on Germantown Avenue, the community’s business corridor. Driven by a desire to revitalize this historic avenue, the dedicated residents established Mt. Airy USA to solve these problems. The organization initially focused on acquisition and rehabilitation of neglected commercial storefronts along the avenue, transforming them into income-producing properties currently owned and operated by local neighborhood merchants. That focus has since grown into a multi-faceted approach for the full realization of Mt. Airy’s vast potential. Currently, Mt. Airy USA works towards its mission in three program areas: 1) Housing Counseling, 2) Real Estate Development, and 3) Commercial Corridor Revitalization.
