Kamm's Corners Development Corporation (KCDC) and  Bellaire-Puritas Development Corporation (BPDC) serve the western and eastern areas of the West Park neighborhood respectively. Recent changes to ward boundaries have expanded KCDC's service areas into those formerly served by BPDC, and BPDC has expanded its service area further east, introducing new and different challenges to both organizations.
