During a recent city council meeting, the Harper Woods council unanimously approved a letter of support for a partnership project with the Detroit Historical Society. This initiative will feature a temporary exhibit in the Guardian Building, showcasing historic graphics representing all 43 cities and townships in Wayne County, including Harper Woods. The project is fully funded, requiring no financial contribution from the city, and the graphics will be returned to Harper Woods after the exhibit concludes.

Additionally, the council discussed a request from Renovar Robson, Harper Woods, LLC, to vacate a portion of Lennon Street at the eastern end where the cul-de-sac is located. This request is linked to a new development at the former Pope Hard site. The Planning Commission is set to review the request at their meeting on August 28, 2024. To facilitate public input, the council scheduled a public hearing for September 4, 2024, to gather community feedback before making a final decision.
