We received another $200k appropriation from the federal government to launch the Detroit Creative Corridor Center this year.
The Center will serve as the champion of the Road to Renaissance Creative Economy Initiative and will serve as a “hub” for the creative community by connecting creative businesses with business programs and services from around the region.
This grant would not have been possible without the efforts of Congressman John Conyers, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, and Senators Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin who all sponsored the bill. The funds will be used to help hire a director and fund the program for two to three years.
