- Abstract:
- Joy-Southfield CDC's goal was to create a healthy community that is known as the greenest neighborhood in Detroit. This project focused on improving the economic health of the community in two ways. It developed a short-range strategy to advance the CDC's ongoing efforts to develop a commercial section of Joy Road into an attractive, pedestrian-friendly district that offers an array of retail opportunities. The CDC also wants to attract green industry to the neighborhood's main industrial area, work it has begun recently. The project examined specific green industries to assess which would be most likely to come, and to offer jobs opportunities for community residents.
