In their continued series, neighborhood associations and block clubs serving the City of Detroit are invited to host their next meeting at Detroit Historical Museum and see our newest exhibit: Southwest Detroit: More Than a Place.

In this workshop Detroit Future City will cover the benefits of placemaking, how transforming vacant spaces can create a sense of place in a neighborhood and provide the community with a place to gather.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide additional information on local historic designation, its benefits and regulations, and address questions and concerns. The program will include a presentation on design review by staff of the Historic District Commission and guests from locally designated historic commercial districts.
