Neighborhood Fund

We invested $800,000 to support community projects in the Chandler Park, West End and Riverbend neighborhoods.

Residents of the neighborhoods and the City of Detroit will collaborate on how to invest the funds, which could include capital investments, small business development, additional home repair programs and more. Funds are held by Invest Detroit.

Construction Mitigation
and Neighborhood Beautification

Installed a stormwater park to control rain water runoff. The park is also available for neighbors to use as a walking path and place to rest. In Spring 2021, gardens, information signage and a large pavilion will be added.

Created vegetative buffers and bioswales to further minimize stormwater runoff. Bioswales are vegetated areas that naturally filter and slow stormwater runoff to help reduce the impact stormwater can have on a municipal system.
