On this week's episode, WYCE's Janet Zahn speaks with Alex Karatkiewicz (Executive Director) and Kelly McCabe (Program Coordinator) from the Creston Neighborhood Association (CNA) to explore the vibrant history and future of Grand Rapids’ largest neighborhood.

Since 1979, the CNA has empowered residents to shape their community by preserving local strengths and driving necessary change.

In this episode, we discuss the association’s positive impact on the Creston neighborhood, including:

  • Community Landmarks: Supporting the local library and the creation of Catherine’s Health Center.
  • Sustainability & Innovation: The development of an urban orchard at Aberdeen Park and the implementation of Grand Rapids' first bioretention islands.
  • Revitalization: Partnering with business owners and artists to breathe new life into the district through public art and economic support.
