Nine shopping districts move ahead toward Re$tore Detroit designations

The Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization (ONCR) has selected nine communities to advance to the second round toward designation as ONCR Re$tore Detroit! Districts. These communities were selected from the 17 applicants because of their organizational capacity and a demonstration of a broad base of neighborhood support, according to Marja Winters of the Planning and Development Department.

The three communities that receive final approval will receive grants of up to $600,000 over five years to strengthen their neighborhood commercial shopping district. The nine organizations still in the running will receive a $5,000 stipend to be used towards preparing their final application, which will include an economic assessment of their district and a long-term funding strategy that includes private sector investment.

The nine applicants that have moved forward include:

• Community Planning Associate: Joy Road from Southfield to Grandmont
• Focus: HOPE Revitalization: Davison Avenue from Dexter to Rosa Parks
• Gratiot McDougall United CDC: Gratiot Avenue from McDougall to St. Aubin
• Greater Corktown Development Corp.: Michigan Ave. from 6th to 20th
• Michigan Avenue Business Association: Michigan Ave. from 53rd to Springwells
• Prevailing CDC: W. Warren from Martin to W. Grand Blvd.
• University Cultural Center Association: Woodward from Canfield to Temple
• U-SNAP-BAC: E. Warren from Devonshire to Cadieux
• Vanguard CDC/New Center Council: Woodward from Baltimore to Bethune and E. Grand Blvd. from Woodward to I-75

The evaluation and selection process will occur over the fall, with final section to be made in December.

Where's 53rd and Michigan? I thought 53rd (being one block west of 52nd/Florida) is Central.
