DETROIT-The effort to renovate the Downtown riverfront has received a $2 million boost. The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy has been awarded a $2 million grant over five years from the McGregor Fund toward development of the Detroit RiverWalk, says conservancy president and CEO Faye Nelson.

McGregor Fund president C. David Campbell says his board has approved the grant—-to be paid out in five payments of $400,000 each from years 2003 through 2007—-because the project will make the riverfront attractive and accessible for residents and visitors.

“The fact that the visioning process, and now the Riverfront Conservancy, includes a broad constituency of individuals and groups will help assure that it will be an asset for the entire region,” Campbell says in a statement.
