About Susan Mosey
Susan T. Mosey has been the president of the University Cultural Center Association (UCCA) for 20 years. This non-profit organization is responsible for economic development and marketing activities within Detroit’s University Cultural Center and adjacent neighborhoods, an area now known as Midtown. Projects that have been undertaken by the organization under Mosey's direction include installation of a comprehensive wayfinding signage system for the district, public improvements including park and median improvements, urban gardens, and the production of events such as Midsummer Nights in Midtown and Noel Night. One of the organization's signature projects is the Inn on Ferry Street, a 40-room historic hotel that opened in 2001. This historic renovation of an entire block of 1880s mansions cost approximately $8.5 million and has won numerous local, regional and national preservation awards.
Also under the direction of Mosey, $25 million was raised by the UCCA to develop Woodward Avenue with new streetscape improvements and historic lighting. In addition, many new commercial facades have been enhanced utilizing UCCA’s façade improvement matching grant program.
Mosey holds a degree in Geography and Urban Planning from Wayne State University.
