Built for executives, Evergreen-Outer Drive is now focused on renewal
Every blossoming community experiences its own highs and lows, and Evergreen-Outer Drive is no different. In a place that was built for industry executives, rebranding and rebuilding are now the focus and the surrounding communities are committed to getting it back on the right track.“There’s a value system that we appreciate here, and that’s what we like to take precedence. The houses in this area were originally built for major automotive executives, and we know that we can restore the reputation that they had then,” says Harrison Duke, Detroit native and resident historian living in the Grandmont neighborhood. “We want everyone in these communities to understand that when you do well, you live well. We all talk about it all the time, but I wish the negativity would just stop.”

Recreation upgrades aim to meet residents’ outdoor needs
Milan Playfield has all the makings of a fulfilling outdoor experience, featuring everything from a football field to horseshoe courts, while children entertain themselves on the playgrounds and adults get gatherings together at the picnic shelters or get their steps in on the walking paths. “In the last 10 years, the city has really put forth an effort to provide necessary recreational outlets that benefit residents,” says Duke. Since Milan Playfield has been selected as a location to be revamped, community meetings are now being scheduled to identify exactly what residents want and how that can be fulfilled. The expansion of Marx Playground is also being discussed. The green space currently features a playground and picnic areas.
