Planning and Development

The Lower Eastside Action Plan (LEAP) is a community-driven project designed to engage people in a process to transform vacant land and property into uses that improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods and surrounding areas. LEAP is NOT opposing the Detroit Works Project. Rather, it is our intent to have the plan incorporated into the city-wide land use plan.

What Will LEAP Do?
  • Generate a plan that addresses the vacant land crisis on the lower eastside of Detroit
  • Create strategies that adapts vacant land for more efficient uses;
  • Issue recommendations for best uses of vacant land based on the needs and assets of the surrounding community
  • Affect policy changes to support vacant land adaptation
