  101 East Grand River Avenue, Howell, Michigan - 1984

  This photograph is of the southside of the 100 block of East Grand River Avenue, Howell, Michigan, and was taken as part of documentation for the R/UDAT Study, 1984.  In view is the front of the 100 block of East Grand River Avenue, with the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Grand River Avenue in the forefront, and First National Bank.  Traffic and the traffic lights are in view.
  
  In 1983, the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce applied for a R/UDAT (Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team) study, an American Institute of Architects program that brought a team of professionals to the city for a four-day period to study Howell's downtown, its ability to compete for regional shopping, and to make recommendations for improvements to re-vitalize the city.  The team, in 1984, during the study took photographs, interviewed people, held forums, and in the end provided an outline of strategies.
