Vanguard CDC co-hosted the National Planning Conference Mobile Tour in the North End, alongside Marja Farrow of the Farrow Group. We are pleased to have co-organized the mobile tour of the North End/Milwaukee Junction neighborhoods. After the tour, Wonwoo Lee and his team (Song United) led us on a tour of the Chroma Building. We heard from panelists about preserving heritage while planning for the future.

Panelists included LaTrice McClendon (Knight Foundation), Stefen Welch (Detroit Pistons), Rob Lockett (Detroit LISC), and Calvin Johnson (City of Detroit). The panel discussion was moderated by Keith Hernandez (Department of Housing and Urban Development).
