Project Timeline

The Greater Warren/Conner Framework Plan is a comprehensive study of the east side neighborhoods that are bound by I-94 to the north, McClellen street to the west, Alter Road to the east and Mack Avenue / E. Vernor Hwy. to the south.

In accordance with a Community Benefit Agreement negotiated under the recent Stellantis plant expansion project, The City of Detroit Planning and Development Department has fulfilled the City’s commitment to conduct a neighborhood framework plan with these communities adjacent to the Stellantis automotive assembly facilities.

The framework study for Greater Conner/Warren examines the current conditions of the neighborhoods and makes recommendations to implement strategies to support, stabilize, and develop the planning area. Further, the process is driven by community engagement with residents, stakeholders and other groups and organizations as part of the process in determining how the neighborhoods will grow in the future. 

This framework examines and provides recommendations toward the following objectives and deliverables, specific to the Greater Warren/Conner neighborhoods: 

• Neighborhood housing stabilization and equitable development
• Commercial and Economic development to include commercial node activation
• Public land stewardship, community open spaces and public places
• Mobility and Streetscapes
• Climate resilience and health equity

The Greater Warren / Conner framework follows the City of Detroit’s Planning Department’s mission to promote a heathy and beautiful Detroit, built on inclusionary growth, economic opportunity, and an atmosphere of trust, for all Detroit residents.
