One of the foundational pillars of Canfield Consortium is honoring legacy and history. To truly redevelop and revitalize the community, its legacy must be celebrated and integrated into every step of rebuilding.

East Canfield Village has many vacant lots that once held homes, businesses, recreation centers, schools, churches and social and advocacy organizations. These places embodied hope, fulfilled dreams, love, connectedness, identity, sustainability, beauty, economic empowerment, pride, joy, and dignity.

We want to ensure that these important elements of the community are not lost and forgotten. That is why Canfield Consortium is reclaiming and honoring that rich history. As we transform these vacant lots, it is essential to restore those same values and emotions into the spaces we create. The legacy and history of East Canfield Village are not just memories of the past—they are the guiding forces shaping its future.
