FROM THE EDITOR

In our Spring 2024 issue, we are pleased to announce the addition of a regular column by Rivertown Detroit Association President Chip Rohde. 

It was Chip who first approached us about collaborating on a magazine for the ‘Sliver on the River.’ We are grateful for a deepening partnership with Rivertown Detroit Association and strongly encourage any businesses, organizations and community members to get involved. 

I cannot speak highly enough of Rivertown’s reach and the phenomenal speakers at each meeting. At one meeting, Mayor Mike Duggan engaged in a lengthy and generous Q&A session. At another meeting, Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix General Manager Michael Montri spoke about the Grand Prix’s move off of Belle Isle. At the last Rivertown meeting, we heard Deputy Director of the Detroit Sports Commission Marty Dobek speak about some of the lesser publicized elements of the NFL Draft Detroit. Become a member and see what Rivertown Detroit Association is all about.

You can read about that NFL Draft meeting on page 19. Elsewhere in this issue, you’ll find exciting news on Detroit Riverfront Conservancy developments at Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Centennial Park, Detroit Grand Prix details, Belle Isle Golf developments and Library Street Collective’s (LSC) unveiling of Little Village, a new cultural district in East Village and the dawning of a new era in the eastside art scene.

We’ll have more on LSC’s work in East Village in a future issue. Suffice to say, there was more to write about than we could possibly fit in one issue. 

It is shaping up to be an enormous year on the riverfront. We hope to see you at one of the many exciting celebrations, openings and events detailed in these pages! 

Things are getting very social! Give us a follow on Instagram @detroitriverliving.
