The group that's created a report on community benefits from the Gordie Howe Bridge project is looking across the border.
Windsor-Essex Community Benefit Coalition presented its report in early December, but is continuing to be active.
Co-Chair Brian Gray says they've struck up a partnership with a similar organization in the Delray area.
He says there's no formal relationship yet, but he sees promise.
"Where we both had a chance to express our concerns and where there might be possibilities for us to be doing joint work on things like environmental concerns and a few other things along those lines."
Gray says the two groups admire the work the other has done.
"We look at them and everything they've achieved, we're both kind of champions of each other I guess is basically the way to put it and we really hope that going forward we're going to have a bi-national coalition."
He says they look to continue to meet with their American counterparts.
"As an entity we've applied for a grant from the Atkinson Foundation to fund us going forward. We hope we're going to be successful in that and look forward to a great summer working with our new partners."
He says the Delray group has been advocating for their community for years and has received funding from the City of Detroit for the sale of property to the Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority.
Gray says he's not sure what role either community benefit group will have once the proponent to build the bridge has been announced.
