Hazel Park emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic as a new hot spot (WXYZ)

(WXYZ) — Everyone loves a comeback story and this time the city of Hazel Park is making headlines. Its transformation, economic growth, and forward-thinking approach are making it more appealing to a lot of people.

Our Andrea Isom went to town to see why Hazel Park is being called a new hot spot!

The city has been through some rough times in the past. But now there is a new vibe, new energy, and new focus and folks are taking notice.

“It’s a great time to be living in Hazel Park, working in Hazel Park, and having a business in Hazel Park,” says City Manager Edward Klobucher.

It’s been coined The Friendly City and it just got a whole lot friendlier. Everyone involved in making that happen is on Cloud 9.

“Sometimes I pinch myself, that it’s unbelievable. In my job, you plan for things to happen 20 years down the road and you never expect it to happen in front of your face. And so it’s incredibly gratifying from a personal level to see that, but more importantly, it’s amazing to see the perception change,” says Community Development Director Jeff Campbell.
