On today’s show, Jefferson Chalmers has a new, community-driven plan to redevelop this historic corner of Detroit’s east side. We dive in.

Josh Elling of Jefferson East and Derric Scott of the East Jefferson Development Corporation joins us to talk about the master plan that was recently completed. It’s a big vision that includes everything from housing to groceries to the Vanity Ballroom.

Have a look at that vision here: https://arcg.is/19u5a8

A couple of quick housekeeping things before we get started here. First, we have a new dial-a-podcast and voicemail service. That’s right, you can now call in to leave a message for the show we might play on the air.

AND, a new twist. No, this isn’t just a voicemail line. You can now call in and listen to the most recent or second most recent episode of the podcast.

That way, you don’t even need a smartphone to hear the show.

Big time thanks to Engineer Randy for working on this and making it possible. You can leave feedback, ideas, or story suggestions at 313-789-3211.

Services like that are only possible thanks to the funding of our members. You can join them at patreon.com/dailydetroit - and thank you.
