Company History
 
METROPOLITAN ASSET DEVELOPMENT, INC. was incorporated in November, 2006, and is a registered nonprofit charitable organization in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
 
Recognizing that successful socio-economic change is possible within any community if there is a desire for change within the residential, academic and labor populations, and recognizing that changing the world at large begins with individual change.
 
MAD, Inc. was established to meet this philosophical objective for positive progress in the urban core areas of our major cities. Often over-looked by traditional development strategies, these metropolitan segments of our country are left to random develop strategies and "fair market", free enterprise economic actions that tend to exploit aspects of these locales. As rents and property values increase, and re-gentrification begins to happen in metropolitan communities, the quality of the existing residential living experiences suffers from neglect and unfairly distributed service provisions. The "hidden" costs of living exceed the prevailing wages and existing opportunites for growth and development are stymied.
 
The "human" infrastructure often comes to this realization after the revitalization of the physical infrastructure.
 
Cultural History and Marketing Trends
 
With the advent of casino gaming and related small games of chance in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and other "target" municipalities are faced with a double-edged "sword of hope", so to speak. Current economic conditions are severe and American businesses are suffering. Casino development creates a variety of ancillary impacts - some beneficial and some not so beneficial to the existing population base. careful oversight and tax management systems are necessary to insure the best enahncements to our communities.
 
Rev. Rabbi Jeffrey Wayne Pergament, D.D., Chairman of the Board of MAD, Inc., served as Administrator of Cultural & Heritage Affairs for the County of Atlantic, New Jersey, from 1977 - 1986, in the wake of the approved referendum to allow casino gaming in Atlantic City. After 30 years of education and life experience, he was ordained in October, 2008, receiving his doctorate for academic accomplishment and rabbinical certifications for ministry.
 
Participating in the final permit and review process for the first 12 casino-hotels, Mr. Pergament served at the pleasure of the County Executive within the Executive offices and the Department of Regional Planning and Development. He completed an historic sites survey of the entire Atlantic County and its 23 municipalities for the Department of the Interior and served on the President's National Task Force for the Arts and Humanities under President Reagan.
 
Today, Philadelphia and its citizens and visitors face the same challenges without the same geographic limitations as the 3-mile island "city built on sand", and given the established limitations on the legislation, and the tremendous socio-economic impacy of casino gaming on an existing community,  METROPOLITAN ASSET DEVELOPMENT, INC. is an oasis in an ever-changing landscape for human, physical and economic resource development, personal capital improvement and community-wide growth and stabilization.
