About this Event
Presented by the Southfield Downtown Development Authority (SDDA)
Join us for a special Greet & Eat Food Truck Event and Ribbon Cutting celebrating more than $20.2 million in city-led public investments over the past decade and strong private-sector momentum in the Cornerstone District. Meet first responders, connect with neighbors and partners, and learn how recent infrastructure upgrades are improving safety, mobility, and quality of life.
Why it matters
City investments in road reconstruction, water main improvements, and upgrades to North Park and Rutland Road totaling more than $20.2 million are now completed! Coupled with $50.1 million in private investment in 2024, these projects are revitalizing the Cornerstone District and preparing it for the SEMCOG-supported 9Line Regional Trail.
