After years of disinvestment, there are new and important resources coming to the Auburn Gresham neighborhood.
You may remember in July, Sargent and CBS 2's Joe Donlon were at the same building for a special half-hour report about the response to mass shootings on the city's South and West sides. We chose the Healthy Lifestyle Hub as the backdrop for that newscast as a sign of hope for the real change that can be made at the community level – when investments are made in our neighborhoods.
On Friday, they celebrated that dream coming to life. During the grand opening celebration from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., residents walked through an open house to learn about all the resources coming to the Auburn Gresham neighborhood. More than 600 guests were expected in all.Carlos Nelson, chief executive officer of the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation, was the one who first had the idea for the Healthy Lifestyle Hub.
In all, the Auburn Gresham Development Corporation secured nearly $20 million for the project. The Pritzker Traubert Foundation was a major benefector. On the first floor, there will be a Bank of America and a local Black-owned restaurant and coffee shop.
