On October 21st, 2014 Councilman Cushingberry
implemented a resolution authorizing an application for a Neighborhood
Enterprise Zone Certificate for Lofts of Merchants Row. This structure is
located at 1413 Woodward Avenue. The
structure is to be rehabilitated at an estimated cost of $188,095 per unit,
creating 42 units of rental housing.This resolution is another example of giving back to the community and bringing in new residents to our city.
In other action from City Council, the Councilman has
introduced a resolution authorizing a contract (#2896481 / 2014) to provide
auditing services for Preparation of the City and Airport 2014 CAFR to Plante
& Moran PLLP for $675,000(USD). This action is in line with an overall goal
of reopening Detroit City Airport for commercial and private air service in the
near future.
To bring Detroit back from the brink we must invest into the
assets of the City like the Airport, instead of selling it off to a private
company. Working with Council member
Scott Benson, there is enough room for an additional 2 runways of over 9000
feet long that will enable larger planes to land within the City of Detroit.
Driving to Flint to fly out of Bishop Airport to save money will be a
thing of the past because, Detroit City Airport will be able to provide the same
services and fly to more destinations than ever before.
Please stay tuned to City Council for additional good news
from Detroit.
