About this grant
With this grant, the Foundation for the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation will continue its efforts of downtown revitalization by supporting the future sustainability of the Hilton Garden Inn hotel. The hotel opened in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing the number of overnight guests and visitors to the restaurants. The downtown hotel is an important community asset and contributes to downtown Flint revitalization efforts and community vitality. It is an amenity for existing arts and cultural institutions, hospitals, the city’s colleges and universities, as well as a place for guests of Flint and Genesee County residents.
