Gratiot and Seven Mile area, known to residents as G7. The reinvestment comes as the bank finalizes a $10.9 billion merger agreement with Comerica Incorporated, expected to close in early 2026 pending shareholder and regulatory approval.

“One Michigan Community Plan” aimed at driving economic mobility across the state.

launch our One Michigan Community Plan to drive our philanthropic investment approach for the state,” Gibson said. “As part of that, we will officially welcome Detroit into the Neighborhood Program with an initial investment of
