That's the moniker that many readers ascribe to TheHUB, which was founded with support from Mayor Mike Duggan, Detroit's Department of Neighborhoods, ARISE Detroit! and many other community organizations to elevate interest and investment in our neighborhoods. TheHUB is proud to head efforts that chronicle the achievements and activities of the hundreds of block clubs, community organizations and everyday neighborhood heroes who define the best of Detroit. We strive to amp up the voices of longtime Detroiters who, too often, feel unseen and unheard in the greater stories of Detroit. And we're leading citywide neighborhood revival efforts to recruit and welcome new neighbors, friends and investors. TheHUB is a free multicultural monthly magazine available at more than 500 newsstand locations in Detroit and surrounding suburbs. Readers can also find our magazine in Latino Press and Chaldean News. Our Minority Media & Alliance partners include: American Arab Chamber ARISE Detroit! Chaldean News Chaldean Chamber Daily Detroit - Digital Daily Detroit Regional News Hub Detroit Regional Chamber Detroit Smart Pages El Vocero Jackson Blazer Korean Weekly Lansing Chronicle Latino Press Michigan Banner Prep Star Small Talk with Mark S.

Mission: Simply put, our focus is Detroit's neighborhoods. TheHUB's multimedia platforms were created to serve as a culturally-relevant communications hub for the dissemination of information and related interaction, education and engagement regarding the development and maintenance of viable city neighborhoods.

Major projects worth billions, such as the redevelopment of Michigan Central Station and construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, along with related I-75 work, are taking place in the neighborhood that has the largest Latino community in Michigan. Yet studies showed that few of the skilled workers who live in and around Mexicantown are employed on those projects or have other wider industry connections.
Word-of-mouth referrals and neighborhood work can keep Spanish-speaking builders busy, but many now aim for bigger jobs. An industry-focused group is helping them make business plans and grow.
