“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”

Yesterday we kicked off the first of many community engagements opportunities around the Motown Square affordable assisted living development! Getting feedback from the community is vital to our process!

We’ll be back this evening at 5:30pm for the second part of our community meeting covering the Motown Square Affordable Assisted Living development. Come and talk with Maurice Townsend and LINC staff about the project and what it entails!
