FLINT, MI The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation granted $350,000 to support a Flint River revitalization project along Kearsley Street in Flint.
The grant will provide funding to the Foundation for the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation, a supporting organization of the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation, for the redevelopment of the former 1st Source Servall Appliance Parts building at 630 W. Kearsley St. in Flint, according to a press release from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
There’s talk of a major investment in Flint Community Schools.
But at this point, it’s still just talk.
Flint public schools have been caught in a downward spiral for years, declining enrollment fueled by aging buildings.
But key players in Flint have been talking behind the scenes about a plan to build new schools.
Those talks have produced a draft “Memorandum of Understanding” that outlines a plan to build new school buildings, including a replacement for the former Flint Central High School. The plan also includes money for addition educational resources. The plan’s price tag is pegged at $340 million dollars.
