Detroit City Council’s Historic Designation Advisory board is nominating the Bagley-West Vernor commercial district in Southwest Detroit for the National Register of Historic Places. The board will present to nomination to the neighborhood on September 11, and answer questions about the benefits of receiving the designation. A spot on the register could open up many federal dollars for the area to restore and revive many of the buildings in the corridor. If approved, the designation would open the corridor up to financial incentives and tax credits up to 45% for renovations and restoration of the buildings. It could also attract more visitors to the area, which can provide a boost for small businesses.
