This series is part of our Equitable Development series, in partnership with Henry Ford Health System, where we explore neighborhood progress and the impact of Henry Ford Health System and community partners. These stories illustrate growing an inclusive Detroit in a way that allows people from all races, classes, and abilities to participate and benefit.
Henry Ford’s latest projects — a cancer pavilion, laundry facility, and arts-centric community hub — are a part of other Detroit institutions’ recent investment in the community.
What's in a name? For some residents, the neighborhood is Northwest Goldberg, named after a popular school board member. To others, it's Zone 8. And for other community members, it's neither.
The redevelopment of the buildings that make up what’s being referred to as the Holden Block is just the beginning. Grasso has already announced plans to build a five-story mixed-use development next door, estimated to cost around $12 million. Located at the corner of Lincoln and Wilbur streets, the development will feature 44 residential units and ground-floor retail.
The agreement follows a movement in recent years among hospitals to go beyond their walls to address community health.
