Downtown Development
Major investments have been planned for downtown Grosse Pointe, also known as "The Village," which may increase density in the shopping- and amenities-focused district.
Two lots (on either side of St. Clair Avenue) currently used for municipal parking directly north of the current row of retail are the focus of planned redevelopment.
In addition, the former Jacobson's Department Store building along Kercheval, west of St. Clair, has been completely redeveloped. Upper floor office space accompanies a slate of new retailers, including a Trader Joe's grocery occupying specialized space in the renovated building.
Additional building activity is planned for a stretch of St. Clair Avenue to the south of Kercheval Avenue, and a new development is rose in 2011 to replace the former Kroger grocery store at the corner of Kercheval and Notre Dame Street.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
