The Road Ahead

Four phases to full operation

The campus is unfolding in deliberate phases — vision, leadership, programs, operation — from 2025 through 2027 and beyond.

  1. Phase 1 — Pre-Implementation & Vision Sharing Complete Q3 2025

    Board briefings, town halls, and internal communications aligned stakeholders around the growth strategy.

  2. Phase 2 — Management Team & Core Operations Complete Q1–Q2 2026

    Executive leadership and department management structure, strategic planning, HR policy development, and program curricula.

  3. Phase 3 — Programmatic & Support Staffing Current Phase Q3–Q4 2026

    Recruiting coordinator staff, intensive onboarding, launching pilot programs, finalizing marketing — culminating in the Grand Opening at the Groove House.

  4. Phase 4 — Full Operation & Evaluation Q1 2027 Onward

    Full program enrollment, continuous evaluation through monitoring frameworks, ongoing fundraising, and exploration of future asset acquisitions along the corridor.

Looking Ahead · Phase 4

Digital services beyond the corridor

Targeted 2027

Neighborhood Issue Tracker

Residents report blight, request services, and flag safety concerns from their phones, with each issue routed to the right team.

Targeted 2027

Groove Career Center

A local job board, resume builder, training enrollment, and career counseling for Detroit's West Side — in one place.

Both platforms are currently in the planning phase.

The Timeline Runs on Fuel
