В Ишпеминге обсуждают создание социального района для развития пешеходной инфраструктуры

Ishpeming DDA discusses potential plans to create a social district ISHPEMING, Mich. (WLUC) - The Ishpeming Downtown Developmental Authority are discussing plans for a potential social district in the downtown area. The social district would be similar to the districts in Marquette and Negaunee. Plans to create one are still in the early stages. The DDA still needs to map out where the district will be and gauge community approval for the project. The Lake Superior Community Partnership’s Liaison to the Ishpeming DDA, Diana Sundberg, believes the social district could positively impact the downtown area. “Just to create more walkability in our downtown. So, to be able to go from potentially the Mather over to old Ish, and then maybe over to the Rainbow, and over to the Congress,” Sundberg said. “Just to be able to make our downtown a little more walkable.” By law, the DDA needs approval from two participating businesses for the project to move forward.
