Sara Jones

Redevelopment
Person

President of the Lincoln Community Development Corporation and founder of Sara Jones Law. In 2021 she purchased two CRA-owned parcels on Lincoln Avenue to build a three-story, 3,600 sq ft office complex designed as both law office and community asset — co-working space, event venue, covered balcony.

The legacy of the neighborhood is inextricably connected with my own history, and I am deeply invested in its future.
