SAVE THE ASTRODOME!
 Iconic and sentimental to every native even if they never stepped foot inside, Houston's architectural gem was declared the Eighth Wonder of the World when it opened back in 1965. 
The Astrodome, for all its rich history, has languished empty, unused and threatened with demolition for over ten years. Beth & Phoebe talk us through the future of the Astrodome, from the need for an Astrodome reuse & redevelopment plan and how Houston could repurpose this space to why demolishing the Astrodome doesn't make sense (in addition to being fully paid for, the county-owned stadium is structurally sound). 

As any native Houstonian will tell you, saving the Astrodome is a cause near and dear to our hearts. Sign up at astrodomeconservancy.com and follow on social media @astrodomeconservancy to help the mission.

How does the RAP initiative align with MEDC’s broader mission of helping people "Make it in Michigan"?

Looking ahead to 2025, what strategic priorities will MEDC focus on to continue driving economic growth in Michigan?

How does MEDC plan to support Michigan’s small businesses and entrepreneurs in the coming year?

Governor Whitmer Announces More Housing, Space for Small Business in Detroit.

The rehabilitation of vacant properties will add housing, commercial space, and increased density to Detroit’s North End.

LANSING, Mich. – Recently, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced redevelopment projects receiving support from the Revitalization and Placemaking (RAP) program, which will see the rehabilitation of vacant and functionally obsolete buildings in Detroit’s North End and downtown Alma. Together, the projects will create 19 residential units and generate a total capital investment of over $6.2 million in the state. 

The RAP program provides access to gap financing for place-based infrastructure development, real estate rehabilitation and development, and public space improvements. 

“Today’s projects in Detroit and Alma will revitalize abandoned buildings into new housing and space for small businesses,” said Governor Whitmer. “The RAP program helps us make our big cities and small towns better, more affordable places to live, work, and do business. These investments show how we’re improving quality of life for Michiganders by replacing old, abandoned buildings with new ones that give more Michiganders an affordable place to live or start or grow their own business. Let’s keep working together to lower costs for buyers and renters and reinvest in our communities.”  

“On behalf of the MEDC, we are pleased to work with communities across Michigan and invest in their resilience through the RAP program as part of our ‘Make It in Michigan’ economic strategy’s placemaking efforts,” said Michele Wildman, MEDC Chief Place Officer. “We look forward to seeing how these projects bring new life to vacant buildings while improving Detroit and downtown Alma for their communities and residents.”  

In Detroit’s North End, a vacant and blighted hundred-year-old building located at 9301 Oakland Avenue will be redeveloped into 10 residential units and 5,200 square feet of commercial space, enhancing walkability and connectivity to the neighboring commercial corridor.   

The project, which is supported by $507,713 in RAP grant funding, is expected to generate a total capital investment of $3,202,007.

Michigan Business Beat | Quentin Messer Jr. MEDC, Revitalizing Detroit’s North End with Opportunity!

Rick Reinhard, a former local government official now with Niagra Consulting, shared his expertise in redeveloping and repurposing underutilized church buildings.  During his tenure with the United Methodist Church, this became one of his specialties. Janice and Rick discussed their shared history in Richmond, Virginia, and explored the challenges and opportunities of reusing historic church buildings. Declining church attendance has created a signifcant problem for many communities. They examined various approaches churches are taking to adapt to changing circumstances, while also discussing the complexities of managing empty church structures and the importance of flexible regulations and community partnerships for successful repurposing.

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.
