The Neighborhood Pass

We’re proud to be part of the communities that surround us and are inviting people from around the city, and the world, to join us in discovering, celebrating and honoring the unique heritage and legacy of each. The Neighborhood Pass, presented by Michigan Central, launched during the North American International Auto Show and provided a guide to explore the local businesses and experiences that contribute to making the vibrant neighborhoods surrounding Michigan Central so special. We look forward to brining this program back soon. To stay in the loop on opportunities like this, make sure to sign up for communication from Michigan Central.

The first partnership milestone between Michigan Central and Google is underway. Google’s Code Next Detroit at Michigan Central aims to train the next generation of Michigan entrepreneurs by providing a space where high schoolers will learn coding and other technical skills. This initiative is in support of Michigan Central’s approach to develop today’s and the next generation’s “skills at the seams” – which is the combination of technical and innovation capabilities.

The 2023-2024 application will open on July 10 and close on August 4.
