The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced it pumped in $11 million to Detroit's Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood. Plus, the United Auto Workers union says it has filed unfair labor practice complaints against Stellantis and General Motors. Those stories and more on today's Detroit Evening Report.

A slate of residents from Jefferson Chalmers, the "Venice of Detroit, join Stephen to discuss how climate change and gentrification are changing the neighborhood, and what residents need to collectively protect themselves from flooding.

Today's guest is journalist Brian Allnutt, whose reporting for Planet Detroit about Detroit's Jefferson Chalmers area and specifically the canal district has not only gotten attention, but set out the issues well for the historic and unique area known as "The Venice of Detroit." From the excerpt: "Climate gentrification” in cities like New Orleans and Miami has seen wealthier and whiter residents displace low-income residents and people of color in less flood-prone areas. But in Jefferson Chalmers, climate gentrification could mean that those with the resources to manage the risks and expense of living in a floodplain may replace those without them."

If you are a long time listeners of the show, you know that the far east side of Detroit by the riverfront is near and dear to my heart. Recently, they've been dealing with flooding and other issues that are a harbinger of what's to come. See, our region has some major infrastructure issues to handle - and there's some big impacts on what will happen going forward if we don't address them now. Josh Elling is the CEO of Jefferson East, a multi-service neighborhood service organization whose area contains much of Detroit's riverfront east of downtown and Jefferson Chalmers. I enjoy having him on the show because we get into the details of what's happening on the ground. How we need to deal with water. Changes that may be needed in Detroit's building code to handle a wetter future. A needed seawall. How projects have been impacted. How this all works regionally because the water issue isn't just in one area, but something that impacts all of Metro Detroit. How, if we work together, there can be a lot of hope. So sure, if you live in the immediate area you'll want to listen. But if you care about communities in southeast Michigan, you'll want to listen, too.

Today's show is a quick, but busy one. We start with three stories around town as the State Fair Transit Center was approved by Detroit City Council; COVID cases are up and the Defense Department is sending help; and Jefferson Chalmers was declared a flood plain by FEMA. Then Shianne Nocerini shares some of her favorite picks for holiday shopping. We'll do a special edition of the newsletter next week with these picks and more. And finally, we try some Christmas Tree ice cream. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. No show tomorrow. We're thankful for you, our listeners and our members at http://www.patreon.com/dailydetroit  

Heavy rain this past weekend led to massive flooding in Southeast Michigan. For some Metro Detroiters, this weekend wasn't just a mess. It was also an unpleasant moment of déjà vu, calling back to a similarly devastating flood in 2014. Today on the pod, we'll talk about what's behind the region's increasingly frequent flood events, and what a fix might look like. You can find photos and stories from Michigan Radio about this weekend's floods here. Find tips about how to stay safe in flooded areas here.

Lester Gouvia, owner of Norma G's Detroit, shares how he transitioned his Caribbean cuisine food truck to a brick-and-mortar location in Detroit's Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood, and the small business resources he utilized to make his vision a reality.

Along Jefferson from I-375 to the Grosse Pointe border, one of the organizations that’s undoubtedly making an impact is Jefferson East Inc., or JEI. It’s not just with flashy projects, but in very personal ways such as helping Detroiters stay in their homes. The nonprofit covers five neighborhoods with more than 18 square miles of land area and 42,000 people. That’s bigger than many suburbs. As someone who knows this area decently well, I also know lots of people write off the east side. At first glance, parts of it have been some of the hardest hit in Detroit. But whether it’s the beautiful houses of Indian village or Jefferson Chalmers; the canals, the economic development that has slowly but surely been firing up, and of course, the proximity to one of our region’s most important resources, the Detroit river - I wouldn’t sleep on it. So today is my conversation is with Josh Elling of Jefferson East. Then, I'll send you out the door with a couple things to know. Support us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/dailydetroit  

On today’s show, Jefferson Chalmers has a new, community-driven plan to redevelop this historic corner of Detroit’s east side. We dive in. Josh Elling of Jefferson East and Derric Scott of the East Jefferson Development Corporation joins us to talk about the master plan that was recently completed. It’s a big vision that includes everything from housing to groceries to the Vanity Ballroom. Have a look at that vision here: https://arcg.is/19u5a8 Learn more about Jefferson East, Inc.: https://www.jeffersoneast.org/ EJDevCo: https://www.ejdevco.com/ A couple of quick housekeeping things before we get started here.

Market manager Minya Irby says last summer, the market had three or four vendors. This year, there are 30 and even more on a waiting list.

Spring precipitation is causing flooding in places like Jefferson Chalmers. A local environmental newsletter is looking at efforts to address the water levels in Detroit.

The nonprofit Jefferson East Inc. has been working since the 1990s to redevelop Detroit’s hard-bitten Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood and business district, located on the far east end of Jefferson Avenue near the border with Grosse Pointe Park. Recently, the organization and its for-profit real estate development arm East Jefferson Development Corp., held a weeklong community workshop to solicit ideas from residents about what they want to see in their neighborhood. On today’s episode, we speak with EJDevCo CEO Derric Scott and Jefferson East Chief Exec Josh Elling about what the organization learned from the process, how it’s working with would-be tenants to best serve the immediate needs of the neighborhood, and how the for-profit development unit helps expand what the organization can accomplish. Scott says East Jefferson Development Corp. owns or controls 87% of the properties located within Jefferson-Chalmers, a once-thriving business district that stretches along Jefferson from Lenox Street to Alter Road. The district is filled with some incredible architecture, but also many vacant and blighted buildings. It’s also home to the first protected bike lanes in the city. Residents who came out to the workshops expressed a desire for things including a new first-run movie theater, a Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s, and a redevelopment of the formerly whites-only Vanity Ballroom as an inclusive mixed-use asset to the community.

Over on Marlborough and Kercheval is an old post office from the 1940s that you might consider an unlikely spot for a Detroit retail and maker success story. After all, it’s a few blocks from Grosse Pointe and has a giant automotive plant between it and the hip West Village and Indian Village. But the duo behind Mutual Adoration, Wayne Maki and Clare Fox, are making the 10,000 square foot craft, class, creation and retail space called Post Detroit work. So I thought it’d be good to check in with them to see what we all could learn from what they’re doing in the Jefferson-Chalmers east side corner of Detroit. The even you can check out this weekend is  Textile Takeover Outdoor Craft Fair on September 14 and 15. More than 50 artists and makers will have their artwork and goods on display and for sale in the outdoor art and craft fair. During the weekend event, attendees can learn about and try out different types of art and craft techniques, such as macramé, natural dying, yarn spinning, knitting, marbling and henna body art. There will be food and beverages, as well as live musical entertainment. Post is at 14500 Kercheval in Detroit, and is open Wednesday through Saturdays.

Happy Friday, friends! On today’s show, we run down the new proposal by Lansing Republicans to fix the damn roads in Michigan. They want to borrow $10 billion against teacher pensions. What could go wrong? Also, Jer tells us about his recent visit to the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood on Detroit’s east side. Specifically, the flooded streets east of Jefferson, where canals that cut through the neighborhood from the Detroit River have topped their banks. Lastly, what’s up with White Claw? Sales of the so-called “hard seltzer” — which tastes to me like a LaCroix mixed with vodka, blech — have surpassed those of all other craft beers save for Blue Moon. We discuss. Thanks for listening to Daily Detroit. If you like what you’re hearing, tell a friend about us, leave us a review and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, or support us by becoming a Patreon member.

Welcome to the Hump Day edition of your Daily Detroit, in which we run down the news that businessman Roger Penske is pouring $5 million into the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood on Detroit’s east side. It’s part of the city’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund. Jer also has a conversation today with Rob Sadow, the co-founder and head of Scoop Technologies. It’s a carpooling app that connects drivers, riders and designs routes. They’ve teamed up with the Bedrock family of companies to help employees ease their commuting and parking woes. Could carpooling be a thing in Detroit? Pretty interesting question in a region without comprehensive mass transit and long commutes, often to a central downtown. We also discuss two other bits of news: A Detroit charter school connected to an investment fund run by tennis star Andre Agassi is closing, another example of Michigan’s dysfunctional charter school system [Chalkbeat Detroit] And Detroit could get a whopping 60 new liquor licenses [Crain’s] Thanks as always for listening to Daily Detroit.

Plus, Bailey Sisoy Isgro of Detroit History Tours talks about Women's History Month and the Nain Rouge.

The Empowerment Plan is a great nonprofit organization that provides jobs to homeless women making coats that double as sleeping bags and are distributed to other homeless people. The women, in turn, get a chance to find permanent housing and a new start on life. Now, the program is expanding. Daily Detroit's Shianne Nocerini went down to Empowerment Plan's Islandview headquarters to speak with founder Veronika Scott. Elsewhere, we discuss the news of layoffs at General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant. Two old, long-abandoned apartment buildings in the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood are getting renovated (pictures here). And if you were hoping to catch the D Drop in Detroit on NYE, you better make different plans. The event is canceled for this year. We also discuss an interesting story about what could become the state's next big cash crop: industrial hemp. MLive has the full story.

Detroit News reporter Melody Baetens discusses the opening of this food-truck-turned-brick-and-mortar in the city's Jefferson-Chalmers neighborhood.
