LANSING - Governor Jennifer M. Granholm has announced that 32 communities, including HIGHLAND PARK, formerly designated as Main Street, Blueprints for Michigan's Downtowns and Blueprints for Michigan's Neighborhoods communities, are now all eligible to be a part of the Michigan Cool Cities initiative. The 'cool' designation gives the communities access to additional marketing tools to promote revitalization efforts in their downtowns and adjacent neighborhoods. "These programs go hand-in-hand with the Cool Cities initiative in helping make Michigan a great place to live, work and play," Granholm said. "I commend these communities for their ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life of their citizens today and for future generations." http://www.nilesstar.com/articles/2005/08/20/news/ ndnews2.txt | ||

Thank you for the intersting update Urbanator. In 2003 I created the site: http://hpcool.com ...for Highland Park citizens to apply for the "Cool" grant. It was attempted, by those doing the application opted for new development rather than taking something we already have and improving on it. Consequently, we lost out. I will offer the site to any group wishing to try again. Note - we were told we would be a high priority applicant should we re-apply. |
