Congressman Thanedar Announces $20 Million for Joe Louis Meets the Iron Belle: Connecting Communities in Detroit Project
Congressman Shri Thanedar is proud to announce $20.7 million in federal funding for the Joe Louis Meets the Iron Belle: Connecting Communities in Detroit Project. “This important project will connect almost two dozen neighborhoods across the heart of Detroit,” said Rep. Shri Thanedar. “By connecting dozens of Detroit’s beautiful neighborhoods to Hamtramck, Highland Park, and Detroit’s world-class riverfront, the Biden administration unlocks numerous environmental and economic benefits for communities across my district.”
The Joe Louis Greenway is going to connect nearly two dozen Detroit neighborhoods to each other and the city's beautiful international riverfront, featuring signage, benches, trees and landscaping. This funding underscores an unwavering dedication to transforming green spaces and uplifting the well-being of our community. The Biden administration, the City of Detroit, and the community worked hand-in-hand to bring this bold vision to life, creating a vibrant and accessible greenway for all to enjoy.
