WA3 sponsors grant program to improve Woodward Ave corridor

The Woodward Avenue Action Association is working to freshen up Michigan’s oldest highway by sponsoring a grant program to improve the aesthetics along Woodward Avenue.

The program will award up to $10,000 in grants to communities along the thoroughfare for physical and public space improvements, such as crosswalks, historic signage and benches, among other things. The city of Berkley and Detroit’s University Cultural Center Association received $20,000 in grants last year. 

The Woodward Avenue Action Association received $60,000 in federal National Scenic Byway funding. Grant applications are due by June 15. For information, visit woodwardavenue.org or call (248) 288-2004.
