Our plans started in 2014 when we purchased three blighted homes across the street from Northwestern High School and started rehab to remove the visual scars our children viewed going and coming from school. We plan to replace blight with light with an Black Bottom economic incubation Center, Motown Cyber Cafe, Hour of Code Hub, Digital Media Labs, Art Gallery , Production Studio, Village Garden Amphitheater , tutors, mentors, and university work study students housing. We will offer art, music and science workshops to our youth in an safe environment. We are rehabbing an 11,000 SF mixed use building near the corner of Woodward and Mt Vernon that will provide an additional cultural center and Cyber cafe for the North End also, providing building trades training to our community .
We will inspire our community with village facilities like; the Black Bottom Bike Shop, Detroit Live Digital Media Studio, Black Bottom Coding Hub. Our goal is to bring together all the stakeholders in our communities to build a unique experience that is truly Detroit, while improving our communities and schools.
