A spark only needs a little wind to spread and catch hold, City Councilwoman Audrey Graham said during the ribbon cutting ceremony of the newly renovated William Kid Franklin Club on Friday morning.
In her west Montgomery district, which has suffered with blight, the reinvestment into the community center represents a spark that could transform more of the community.
Abandoned in 2009, the former Boys and Girls Club needed a new roof, new floor, new windows and so much more. While others might have chosen to demolish the building, Strong Tower Church members saw its potential. Purchased in 2017, the church has spent four years and $1 million in order to reopen the club.

After a year of dealing with a global pandemic and as people are encouraged to get a COVID-19 vaccine when available, some other crucial vaccinations to protect the public apparently are getting overlooked.
State and national health officials earlier this week raised an ominous warning that vaccination rates for young children against illnesses such as measles, mumps, pertussis, chickenpox and more had dangerously dropped in many states, including Michigan, as parents postponed well-child visits due to the COVID-19 threat.
Vaccination rates for Michigan children ages 19 to 36 months have fallen below 70% in more than half of the state, or 42 of 83 counties, according to February data from the Michigan Care Improvement Registry. In six Michigan counties including Iron County in the Upper Peninsula and the City of Detroit, the rate has dropped below 60%.
