Mr. Ralph Castro, past president (2007-2009) and
founder of the SEDHCC was born and raised in Pleasant
Grove when it was predominantly a white community.
Today, the southeastern area of Dallas has boomed, and
its population is more than 50 percent Hispanic. Mr.
Castro's paint and body shop, along with a plethora of
small Hispanic businesses, has prospered.
The SEDHCC believes that in order for Dallas to become
a premier international city and leader in a 21st century
economy, it must first develop the southern sector
including Pleasant Grove. The Pleasant Grove area of
Southeast Dallas is primed for economic development
with more land mass and population growth than any other
neighborhood in greater Dallas.
