Westacres was built an an experiment sponsored by James Couzens, Michigan’s senator.”The goverment had begun to finance housing projects at the lowest possible cost. Couzens, believed that such housing projects should be located near industrial centers so that workers in industry who were laid off periodically, could supplement their incomes by raising their own produce. A Westacres was his dream of such an ideal community” (Westacres 1936-1938)
