DETROIT-Four Detroit redevelopment projects have been awarded “Cool Cities” funding by the state. The state awarded its second annual round of Cool Cities funding projects this week. A total of 29 projects were designated as part of the Cool Cities program, but only 13 projects around the state were awarded funding, including the four in Detroit. The other projects will receive assistance from statestaffers, but no direct funding.

Winning funding of a $100,000 grant in Detroit include: Woodbridge Neighborhood Development Corp., which is developing the Woodbridge Cultural Corridor; New Center Council Inc. which is developing a new cultural amenity and community meeting place in New Center as it develops its residential core; Greater Corktown Development Corp., which is working on restoration of the Row House; and University Cultural Center Association for the Woodward Willis mixed-Use development.

The Woodbridge Woodbridge Cultural Corridor project is designed to provide an anchor for the Woodbridge neighborhood, support and promote self-sustaining artists, and to preserve architectural history. The project plans include the development of three arts-focused incubators live-work housing, multiple examples of public art, food and beverage and retail space. It is located on Grand River Avenue, immediately north of Corktown. The grant will include façade improvements on nine buildings, some of which have historic designations.
