  • Culture Lab Detroit Shines a Light on the Work of Outstanding Immigrant Artists
    November 30, 2016 Culture Lab Detroit shines a light on the work of outstanding immigrant artists By Sarah Rose Sharp Photo courtesy of Chido Johnson. As millions of people living in the United States hold our breath in the face of a president-elect who seems hell-bent on waging war on immigrants, a series of recent events orchestrated by Culture Lab Detroit proved themselves to be exceptionally timely. "Culture Lab Detroit's 2016 theme is 'Walls,'" Culture Lab Detroit founder Jane Schulak says. "Participants in this year's programs are all connected by their interest in reconsidering the structures which define our lives." MetroTimes | CLD shines a light on the work of outstanding immigrant artists 1 This was certainly the case at "Art and the immigrant experience," a panel discussion featuring performers and artists Migguel Anggelo, Kia Arriaga, Rola Nashef, and Chido Johnson, and moderated by Gracie Xavier, director of corporate and economic development strategy at Global Detroit. "We chose panelists whose work specifically addresses the immigrant identity, and the challenges of living between two cultural worlds," Schulak says. "This is more important today than it was even a week ago. It was particularly interesting to discuss the evolution of voting privileges for immigrants following this election. I think overall we found that we all have a deep connection to our cultural roots, but also evolve as members of the community we surround ourselves with. "No matter what our background, we ultimately share the same human experience." The panel, which took place earlier this month, was packed to standing room, and underscored the ways in which immigrants have an experience that is both unique and universal.

  • Detroit Dequindre Cut Greenway
    Michigan Placemaking in Action… Detroit Dequindre Cut Greenway Before: The City of Detroit, in partnership with many state and private agencies, developed an abandoned below-level rail corridor formerly used by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad (referred to as the "Dequindre Cut"), into a 1.35-mile pedestrian/bicycle trail and greenway. The project provided a nonmotorized link from destinations inland, such as downtown Detroit and Eastern Market, to the William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor, the Detroit Riverwalk and surrounding neighborhoods. Federal TE funds were awarded to the project for site preparation, construction of access ramps at Lafayette Boulevard and Gratiot Avenue, stormwater and utility improvements, installation of security cameras, and the trail construction. • Federal TE investment: $2,055,448 • Matching Funds: $513,862 from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan • Public/Private Partnership: The greenway would not have been possible if it were not for a strong public/private partnership between the City of Detroit, Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, Southeast Michigan After: Community Foundation Greenways Initiative, Kellogg Foundation, Kresge Foundation, Downtown Detroit Partnership, SmithGroup JJR, community advocacy groups (such as the Riverfront East Alliance and the Lafayette-Elmwood neighborhood), the Michigan Department of Transportation, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. • Phase Two of the Dequindre Cut is a component of the $10 million 2012 Federal TIGER Award for the “Link Detroit!” multi-modal infrastructure improvement project. Project Impact: • Complete transformation from an unattractive, unused area to a beautiful public space improving walkability and nonmotorized connectivity within the city. • The Detroit News reported that Tony Goldman, CEO of New York City-based Goldman Properties, says he's close to making a major investment in downtown Detroit.

  • 19-6299 Address: 511 Woodward Historic District: Detroit Financial Applicant: Michael Lawrence/Yamasaki
    STAFF REPORT 06-26-2019 MEETING PREPARED BY: G. LANDSBERG APPLICATION NUMBER: 19-6299 ADDRESS: 511 WOODWARD HISTORIC DISTRICT: DETROIT FINANCIAL APPLICANT: MICHAEL LAWRENCE/YAMASAKI DATE OF STAFF VISIT: 06-07-2019 511 Woodward, View from Northeast. Staff photo, June 7, 2019. PROPOSAL The building at 511 Woodward is a 5-story office building with mirrored bronze glazing and brown brick accents constructed in the early 1970s. A narrow linear plaza and several tree planters, also executed in brown brick in a style typical of the era, provides a narrow public space along the front of the building. Rooftop mechanical enclosures are unusually large with respect to the small size of the building and appear to be shaped in an attempt to unify the composition of the building. The building occupies a prominent location on Woodward, mediating between Detroit’s primary boulevard and the landmark Guardian Building immediately adjacent to the west. The applicant is seeking the Commission’s approval for the following scope: • Removal of the existing curtain wall and replacing with a new curtain wall system with Low E butt glass. • Addition of a 1’-6” deep screen wall over most of the building facade. • Maintain the existing screen walls at roof. • Addition of stair to cover floors 1 and 2 for the east end of the building. • Development of the exterior plaza to lower the finish floor elevation to match the west end of the building along Congress. Plaza floor level and 1st floor of the building will match. Outdoor patio space to be activated from the tenant areas on the 1st floor.

This phase of the Superfund process was completed in September 1990 with the signing of the Record of Decision (ROD) for cleaning up ground water at and near the site and addressing leachate contamination from the landfill.
