G7 activation marks 1 year of community transformation on Detroit’s east side

The G7 Activation project marks its one-year anniversary by transforming vacant lots into a community space on Detroit's east side, centered around the Matrix Center. This collaborative effort has addressed blight, traffic safety, and neighborhood resources, offering services like housing support, youth programming, and workforce development. The initiative exemplifies community-driven change, further supported by a $12.5 million grant for safety improvements along the Gratiot corridor, enhancing business facades and commercial redevelopment.
