Detroit Mayor to Address Arab American and Chaldean Council Board

posted on: Apr 1, 2009

The Arab American and Chaldean Council (ACC), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing human and social services throughout Southeastern Michigan, will host City of Detroit Mayor Kenneth Cockrel Jr. at the joint meeting of its Board of Directors and Advisory Board on Tuesday, April 7 at 11:30 a.m.

The board meeting is to be held at ACC’s Youth Recreation and Leadership Center, located at 62 W. Seven Mile Road, in Detroit. Mayor Cockrel will be present to share his views and plans for economic development in the City of Detroit.

ACC’s Seven Mile Project, a Community & Neighborhood Development Initiative, is aimed at revitalizing the area both economically and residentially. Divided into three phases, the project has provided a glimmer of hope on the long- abandoned Seven Mile Road nestled between John R Road and Woodward Avenue. The project received its “COOL CITIES” designation by the Governor’s office in 2005.
