The October meeting of the Restoring Neighborhoods Task Force featured a presentation from Danielle Lewinski, vice president and director of Michigan Initiatives at the Center for Community Progress (CCP), and Tracey Evans, executive director of the Wilkinsburg Community Development Corporation, on CCP’s new report, “Creative Placemaking On Vacant Properties: Lessons Learned from Four Cities.” The report explores emerging practices in four communities: Kalamazoo, Michigan; Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania; Newburgh, New York and Macon, Georgia and offers practical guidance for communities curious about how to leverage the power of creative placemaking to transform vacant properties.
