Central Woodward

The Central Woodward investment area is bounded by I-75 on the east, Linwood Avenue on the west, Oakman Avenue/Webb Avenue on the north, and I-94 on the south.

The Central Woodward/North End Collaborative, made up of Central Detroit Christian CDC, Child Care Coordinating Council (4Cs), Focus: HOPE, New Center Council, and Vanguard CDC, is the coordinating body accountable for facilitation and implementation of the Central Woodward comprehensive strategy. Working with limited resources, the Collaborative leverages each organization’s skills and expertise, achieving broader outcomes together than each could individually achieve.

The Central Woodward comprehensive plan includes several integrated quality of life initiatives that Detroit LISC is supporting, consistent with our Sustainable Communities goals, including: education, safety, technology, beautification, and workforce development.
