$2B to Eliminate Detroit’s Blight


A task force says it would take 5 years and $2 billion to clean up Detroit’s 40,000+ blighted properties. The Detroit Free Press says about $850 million would go just toward clearing abandoned houses and retail strips, with the rest dedicated to razing large factories and commercial spaces. Officials say removing blight is the obvious first step to revitalizing Detroit.
