south division corridor Plan
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Client
City of Grand Rapids
Description
The South Division Corridor Plan was created through a community-led, collaborative effort. It is a visionary guiding document that sets forth a strategic direction for revitalization by building upon significant assets and addressing the root causes of the issues that have led to its decline. This equitable vision is intended to promote the following:
New investment directly benefits low- and middle-income residents who have largely been left out of the City’s prosperity.
Public subsidies are used to encourage private investment where it can best provide opportunities for all neighborhood
residents.Everyone who is affected by the Plan has had an opportunity to have their voices heard and their interests represented in the
decision-making process.Economic development policies, plans and projects are quantifiable and measure the impacts on residents.
Non-discrimination policies are bolstered while affirmatively furthering fair and equal housing and business opportunities for all.
