AAM y la ciudad de Detroit anuncian una asociación vecinal con Campau/Banglatown

DETROIT,10 de mayo de 2019.Según anunció hoy la empresa, American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM) se asociará con la Ciudad de Detroit y los líderes comunitarios para ayudar a revitalizar el área de Campau/Banglatown como parte del Fondo de Vecindario Estratégico (SNF) y Fondo de Aprovechamiento de Viviendas Asequibles (AHLF).

AAM, junto con otras seis empresas, asumieron el compromiso de aportar $5 millones durante cinco años al SNF y al AHLF para ayudar a revitalizar las comunidades en toda Detroit. El SNF se enfoca en proyectos impulsados por la comunidad en cuatro áreas que incluyen mejoras de parques, mejoras de paisaje urbano, desarrollo de corredores comerciales y estabilizaciones de viviendas unifamiliares asequibles. El AHLF apoya la creación y el mantenimiento de viviendas asequibles en los vecindarios de toda la ciudad de Detroit.

"AAM se enorgullece de su oficina central ubicada en Detroit, cerca de la comunidad de Campau/Banglatown. Hemos visto cómo esta área se transformó en una comunidad pujante y es un honor para nosotros formar parte de su brillante futuro”, expresó David C. Dauch, presidente y director ejecutivo de AAM. "Esperamos ansiosos trabajar con sus residentes y con la ciudad de Detroit para ayudar a revitalizar aún más esta comunidad".

A principios de este año, los planificadores de la ciudad detallaron mejoras planeadas para Campau/Banglatown, lo cual incluyó parques mejorados, un área pública de diversión acuática para chapotear, una cancha de fútbol, una cancha de críquet, cambios en las carreteras y desarrollo y redesarrollo residenciales y comerciales.

"La ciudad ha trabajado estrechamente con la comunidad de Campau/Banglatown durante meses para desarrollar un marco emocionante y factible para el vecindario", afirmó el alcalde Mike Duggan. "Contar con el apoyo y el compromiso de AAM mientras este proceso avanza solo mejorará las iniciativas de revitalización continuas de una forma que respete la identidad única del vecindario".

La primera iniciativa comunitaria de AAM con Campau/Banglatown tuvo lugar esta mañana cuando más de 100 asociados de AAM de las instalaciones de Metro-Detroit se reunieron con representantes comunitarios y ayudaron a limpiar varias zonas claves, incluidas la Escuela Davison en 2800 E. Davison, el Complejo recreativo Jayne Field, la exescuela Washington Center en 13000 Dequindre y la sucursal de Knapp Library.

"Una de las creencias básicas de AAM es brindar servicios a las comunidades donde vivimos y trabajos", expresó Dauch. "Nuestros asociados tienen el honor de retribuirle a esta comunidad y seguiremos buscando oportunidades para respaldar la revitalización de esta zona".
