The Downriver Community Conference (DCC) was awarded a $2 million project grant from the Department of Commerce's Economic Adjustment Assistance program to implement an economic recovery initiative for Detroit's Downriver region. The initiative will support hiring a regional economic development manager, developing an inclusive community strategy for redeveloping sites along the Jefferson Avenue corridor, and establishing a small business technical assistance program. These services aim to assist the region's economic recovery from significant disruptions caused by coal plant closures and additional distress from pandemic-related job and business losses, strengthening the local economy in an area impacted by coal industry decline. The grant was awarded on August 16, 2022 under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program, which provides technical, planning, and infrastructure assistance to regions facing adverse economic changes.
