Highland Park is a historic community whose boundaries are wholly encompassed by the city of Detroit. An old industrial city once home to the prestigious Ford Motor Company Model T Plant before the company’s relocation to the suburbs, Highland Park has been impacted by the nation’s manufacturing decline and recession. The plan takes a detailed look at early opportunity, low-risk/high-reward projects that bring the community together and prove the development market. Early uses become the anchors and amenities for future development initiatives that include a critical piece of the regional greenway, mixed-income housing, new cultural and retail experiences, and entrepreneurship support for culinary startups. The plan also provides operational guidance to TIFA that will assist them in identifying and recruiting development partners while focusing on equity and inclusion for its residents and businesses.
