September 1, 2006 Comerica
Charitable Foundation awarded a grant of $100,000 over two years to
the Arab American and Chaldean Council (ACC) to support the
Artisan Center and Adult Learning
Project, Phase III of ACC’s Community and Neighborhood Development
Initiative (CNDI). The planned center will be located adjacent to
the soon to be constructed pocket park on Seven Mile
Rd, immediately east of ACC Detroit

completed ACC Youth Center.
Once
completed, the center will house artists’ workspaces, display area
and a middle-eastern themed café all on the first floor. The second
floor will accommodate an adult-learning center where newly arrived
immigrants can learn English as a second language in addition to
cultural, financial literacy and other self-help programs that will
be offered to clients with the aim of having them armed with basic
knowledge to help them find meaningful employment opportunities. For
