The Springwells Village Collaborative includes these partners:

Bagley Housing, Bridging Communities, Cahalan Citizens, Greening of Detroit, Neighborhood Centers Incorporated, Southwest Detroit Business Association,
Southwest Solutions, Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision

The Springwells Village Collaborative focuses resources to revitalize our neighborhood more efficiently and effectively than would otherwise happen working separately. We do this by:

• sharing information
• developing plans (See attached plan in “Publications)
• applying for funding and other resources, and
• implementing projects jointly thereby sharing complementary expertise and resources.

Springwells Village is a community of 21,000 residents in southwest Detroit. It has a life and character of its own. Housing development in the early 20th century enabled a large number of workers to own inexpensive homes near new factories in the area. The Village’s “downtown” along West Vernor Highway is thriving with many new businesses. The population is young and growing thanks largely to Hispanic immigration. Income is diverse. Vacant land offers opportunities for new housing, Parks and businesses. Demographics
