Addressing the needs of Detroit neighborhoods is a priority as Mike Duggan runs for a second term. Now he releases a plan.
Christine Ferretti writes in The Detroit News reports:
Mayor Mike Duggan said Wednesday that the city will double the rate of commercial demolitions and get tougher on rental properties in a 10-point plan for Detroit’s neighborhoods over the next four years.
The list, unveiled to residents during a charter-mandated citywide community meeting includes a,crackdown on illegal dumping in addition to doubling the rate of commercial demolitions from 150 per year to 300 and tougher rules for landlords.
Duggan told residents who crowded into the City Hall auditorium that the meeting marked the first time he’s shared the full plan publicly. The mayor noted he’s spent months gathering input from block clubs and neighborhood associations. The administration will officially put out the plan next week, he said.
