Africatown Community Land Trust’s mission is to acquire, develop, and steward land in Greater Seattle to empower and preserve the Black Diaspora community.
We envision vibrant and thriving Black Communities through land ownership.
Africatown Community Land Trust is working for community ownership of land in the Central District that can support the cultural and economic thriving of people who are part of the African diaspora in the Greater Seattle region.
Africatown Community Land Trust was formed to acquire, steward and develop land assets that are necessary for the Black/African diaspora community to grow and thrive in place in the Central District as well as support other individuals and organizations in retention and development of land.
Following the historic inclusive development agreement reached on the Liberty Bank Building, the Africatown Community Land trust was formed in June 2016 culminating from the work of the Union Street Business Association and Africatown stakeholders to acquire and facilitate inclusive, heritage rich development at the Midtown Center. The Land Trust was also identified as the proper vehicle to hold the Africatown ownership interests in the Liberty Bank Building and the Firestation 6 and other properties
