Let There Be Light

"Let There Be Light: Transforming the Eight Mile Gateway"

The intersection of Eight Mile & Greenfield is about to shine like never before! The Eight Mile Boulevard Association (8MBA), in collaboration with the cities of Detroit, Oak Park, and Southfield, has launched an exciting crowdfunding campaign to illuminate this key gateway with artistic, multi-colored lighting.

This initiative is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about community pride, economic development, and safety. A well-lit space fosters a sense of security, enhances visibility for drivers and pedestrians, and creates an inviting atmosphere that can attract businesses and visitors.

Your donation will go twice as far! Thanks to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Patronicity Program, every dollar raised up to $50,000 will be matched—doubling the impact of your contribution.

Support the campaign today! Donations come with special perks, including bookmarks, T-shirts, and even your name on a donor plaque.

📅 Campaign Deadline: May 22nd
