The solution proposed herein is to create a sustainable community on the north side of Flint that is economically, environmentally and socially resilient; a community that takes a holistic approach to meet the challenges and needs of the residents of the neighborhood. A sustainable community in North Flint will have a long-term positive impact upon future generations, without sacrificing the need to protect current human, natural and economic resources; and without compromising the wellbeing of surrounding communities. For this plan to work, it will require:
• The commitment of the Grace Village Project team
• The effective response of local government officials and community leaders
• A public-private partnership with the City of Flint • The participation of public and private businesses and neighborhood organizations
• Active, informed community participation
This blueprint for a sustainable community aligns with the Ruth Mott Foundation priorities and approach to “place-based strategy of philanthropy.” With the help and participation of the Ruth Mott Foundation, this plan will result in a better quality of life for North Flint residents because it addresses:
• Safety and well-being • Physical health and wellness
• Economic security
• Education and job training
• Job creation
• Protection and conservation of the environment
• Creation of recreational and cultural venues
This blueprint also aligns with the City of Flint Master Plan adopted in October 2013 in that it:
• Envisions Flint with a positive public image
• Eradicates neighborhood blight; and rehabilitates residential and commercial properties
• Attracts new public and private investment to the North Flint area
• Introduces clean, renewable energy technologies to Flint communities
• Creates hundreds of new jobs • Propels Flint toward a clean, sustainable future
