WHY NW GOLDBERG?
This is our home. We have a vested interest in this often forgotten historic neighborhood spanning more than 20 years.
NW Goldberg is centrally located, near the city's highways and freeways, and is home to Motown Museum, Henry Ford Health System, Cardinal Health and several other businesses.
As we honor the history of this vibrant neighborhood, we must continue to build on legacy of those who came before us. We are here to make a difference, spread a little love and sustain one of the biggest comebacks of any Detroit story.
