About us | The Avalon Village is a sustainable eco-village being built in Highland Park, MI (inside the city of Detroit). We are transforming one of the city’s most blighted blocks into a safe, functional, and beautiful space for the entire community. The inspiration behind this transformative project is 2 year-old Jakobi RA who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 2007. We honor his memory and embrace his vibrant spirit in everything we do. Our first installation, Jakobi RA Park, serves as a gathering place for celebrations, community service projects, activities and events throughout the year. Construction is underway right now on The Homework House, The Goddess Marketplace and landscaping/beautification. Future plans include The Avalon Village Healing House, The Blue Moon Cafe and The Avalon Village Community Greenhouse. |
