DETROIT SHOREWAY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Redeveloping ORGANIZATION Neighborhoods NEIGHBORHOOD PROFILE

As recently as the 1970 census, the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood had the highest number of people who walked to work

The closure of the two largest employers, Westinghouse and Eveready Battery, sent the neighborhood into a economic decline

By 1990, the neighborhood had a 40% poverty rate and median home sales price of $16,000

DSCDO formed to be dedicated to rebuilding the neighborhood’s housing market and to attract private sector investment through market rate housing development, acquisition and redevelopment of multi- family buildings along Detroit Avenue

With a staff of 3, DSCDO takes on monumental challenge to save the Gordon GORDON SQUARE ARCADE Square Arcade from demolition. UDAG funding allows DSCDO to purchase the building and make emergency repairs.
