Preston Avenue and the surrounding residential areas have a rich residential and industrial history. The juxtaposition of homes with old factories and current industries create what could be a rich mixed-use area where the residents can live their whole life: social, economic, public and private. However, transportation planning has separated major parts of the neighborhood, keeping families, citizens, and industries apart. This year’s Vortex will explore the potential in this area, and work to bring back the exciting, full community that once existed here.
