Deb Killarney tells MLive that she feels that downtown Kalamazoo could be more sustainable. She now manages the Central City Community Garden to address that concern. The community garden plot at a corner of Eleanor and Burdick streets was leased to the Downtown Citizens Advisory Council for $1. The idea was initially proposed in 2004 and is finally taking shape.
