Detroit -- If you're with an organization or firm that has a good idea--some money could be coming your way. Specifically, the idea has to create a positive link between existing and emerging neighborhoods on Detroit's near east side. If so, the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan wants to hear about it. Foundation president Mariam Noland tells WWJ's Pat Sweeting that $15 million is being made available through the Detroit Neighborhood Fund. "We're announcing the availability of funds for large, transformative projects, up to a million and a half dollars for projects and much smaller community engagement grants," said Noland. Noland good ideas that have been brought up already include safe streets, transportation, and access to good food.
