Mission: To honor the legacy of our families and inspire a community of change in McDougall-Hunt that leads to the equitable revitalization of the neighborhood.
Bailey Park Neighborhood Development Corporation (BPNDC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization made up of dedicated residents committed to revitalizing and strengthening the McDougall-Hunt Neighborhood.
Established in 2013 by longtime McDougall-Hunt resident, Katrina Watkins, BPNDC began with the idea of removing blight and beautifying vacant lots. However, the energy that inspired the first projects motivated Katrina to persist, leading BPNDC to evolve over time into a growing organization that encourages and supports neighborhood pride and development, while empowering residents to create change for themselves and their community.
Today, BPNDC is supported by resident engagement, community partnerships, and a strategic and sustainable framework that will transform this low-density, low-income pocket of Detroit into a beautiful and vibrant neighborhood. BPNDC’s vision includes single-family homes, maintained green space and parks, and a community Hub that supports ongoing growth and development, including programs and services for youth, seniors, and low-income families.
