Meet the Faces of Eight Mile

In 2014, the Eight Mile Boulevard Association pays homage to the "Faces of Eight Mile", recognizing the government, business and community leaders that contribute to the revitalization of Eight Mile through their efforts. "Faces of Eight Mile" are ambassadors for this famous Michigan thoroughfare to the rest of the world. They have made Eight Mile a better place through their efforts and they embody Eight Mile's collective diversity, connectivity and power as a collaborative corridor community.

The twenty individuals below were selected from a wide and diverse pool of stakeholders throughout the region, a pool that includes mayors, managers, block club presidents, business owners and everyday citizens, each of whom have a connection to Eight Mile.

These individuals represent some of the most engaged partners and champions that Eight Mile is fortunate enough to have. Their collective efforts have contributed mightily to our shared efforts of Eight Mile revitalization and together these "Faces of Eight Mile" showcase an exemplary level of civic engagement on a regional level.
