                    IN RECOGNITION OF GRAND PARKLET

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RASHIDA TLAIB

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 17, 2022

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today I would like to recognize the hard 
work and vision of Detroit's Grandmont Rosedale community and 
organizations who have made the dedication and grand opening of Grand 
Parklet possible.
  Grand Parklet is the culmination of a transformative public roads 
project that created a community green space from what was once a 
vacant corner. But this park is not a typical beautification project. 
Grand Parklet creates a walkable route that connects residents to 
neighborhoods and local businesses, a welcome addition to this thriving 
neighborhood. Beyond connecting the community, Grand Parklet will serve 
as a space to gather for events and conversation for all to enjoy.
  Please join me in thankful recognition of Grandmont Rosedale 
Community Development Corporation and the people of Rosedale Park, 
North Rosedale Park, Minock Park, Grandmont, and Grandmont 1 who made 
Grand Parklet possible.

                          ____________________
