The Brat Corps® Community Development Corporation (BCDC) is the community development and placemaking organization within the Brat Corps® Institutional Network™.

While Brat Corps® builds community, BCDC builds the places where that community gathers, grows, innovates, and preserves its legacy.

BCDC develops permanent community assets that strengthen military brat communities through strategic real estate development, capital projects, mixed-use destinations, innovation campuses, and cultural institutions.

Our Mission

The Brat Corps Community Development Corporation™ exists to plan, finance, develop, own, steward, and sustain the permanent physical, economic, educational, and civic assets that strengthen Military-Connected Destinations™ and expand opportunities for military-connected individuals, families, and communities.
