We here at First State Development are forerunners of change.  As men, we were born to meet challenges and solve problems.  It is hardwired into our DNA.  Gentrification has somehow become codeword for something bad or worse, the victimization of a helpless people.  Progress, development, and improvement has never been a bad thing.  As GM of this development company, I have spent my whole life improving African American neighborhoods.  I have staked my entire existence on one recurring theme.  Black men are strong enough, skilled enough, and intelligent enough to build their own neighborhoods.  If you believe this in your heart, soul, and spirit and you are ready to build your own piece of America with flair and brilliance.  Come and join us at First State.  We will welcome you with open arms.
