We met at the Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation (GRDC) Workplace (19120 Grand River) on June 18 and on Zoom. We are exploring more involvement with the businesses in our respective five (5) neighborhoods. Chelsea Salame (GRDC 313-387-4732) has met with owners and is trying to organize the businesses. If you have an interest in our Grandmont Community businesses, please consider helping with this effort. We need more people if we want to accomplish better community-business relationships within Grandmont.
The meeting covered a beautification grant possibility and enforcement concerns with current blight complaints in all of our neighborhoods. It was suggested that participation in our D1 meetings, Coffee with a Cop, and Department of Neighborhoods is an important resource to better communication and information and gain quicker resolution to our issues. Using the Improve Detroit App or calling Environmental Affairs (313-876-0974) to report problems is very important. Our next scheduled meeting is September 17 at 10am.
