The U.S. Department of Transportation recently awarded the Michigan Department of Transportation a $104.7 million grant through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for the I-375 project in Detroit.
The goal of the project is to rebuild the Black Bottom and Paradise Valley neighborhoods that were destroyed when I-375 was built.
“I-375 bulldozed two vibrant Black neighborhoods and is part of an unjust and painful chapter in our history,” U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) said. “Instead of dividing our communities, we now have a chance to reconnect them and take a big step toward building a better future.”
