SAN DIEGO, CA—The Centre City Development Corporation (CCDC) Board of Directors today reluctantly accepted the resignation of Director Gina Champion-Cain, who announced on November 28 that she would leave the board due to a potential future conflict-of-interest.  She was appointed to the CCDC Board on June 29.
