Demolition crews will begin Thursday tearing down 3,000 derelict buildings that the City of Detroit deems dangerous.
The city’s plan is to have the 3,000 structures all torn down by the end of the year. City officials have obtained federal grants to fund the demolition project which is the first leg of a larger four-year project to rid the city of 10,000 blighted buildings.
"This is a big step in making Detroit a more attractive city to live, work, and invest," Mayor Dave Bing said in a statement. “We’re attacking blight, improving public safety and strengthening our neighborhoods.”
