Seven Mile Spotlight Fall 2006

As one of five Restore Detroit districts designated by the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization (ONCR), the Seven Mile Project has already accomplished much in its quest to provide for a destination area of ethnic shopping and entertainment in a clean and safe environment. This endeavor to transform a rundown and dilapidated area into a thriving and vibrant neighborhood community is a huge task. The ACC is fortunate to have such a variety of influential friends and supporters who are lending their time, expertise, and resources to the completion of this endeavor.

The Seven Mile Project was developed to address the pressing needs of the surrounding community with an end result of a healthier and more dynamic community. This project promises outstanding growth potential for our community, the City of Detroit, and its residents and businesses.
