We hope that we will be able to use these new HUD funds to expand this program to all 11 areas of the city that have experienced repeated flooding. We have a team of people developing creative new approaches to flood resiliency in our city that these funds could be used for. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
We also intend to pursue an expansion of our recently announced basement protection program. The City already has committed $15 million for a pilot in the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood and Aviation subdivision to install backflow prevention valves and sump pumps. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
We will be working closely with HUD officials to fully understand the regulations attached to this funding, and will pursue permanent measures to protect residents in Jefferson Chalmers from rising water levels and from basement flooding due to the heavy rains we've seen. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Detroit was hit as hard as any during the massive rain storm last June 25-26th. The nearly $60 mil flood disaster recovery grant awarded by HUD today represents funding that is critically needed for our efforts to protect residents living in our most flood prone neighborhoods. https://t.co/oOa7GjCpab — PolitiTweet.org

The new Carpenters and Millwrights Training Center gives Detroiters like Derrick, David, and Passion, the opportunity to learn valuable skills for a successful career while taking part in rebuilding our City. They are an inspiring example of Detroiters rebuilding Detroit. https://t.co/YmKIsJFOik — PolitiTweet.org

They also provide access to important social services information such as homeless shelters, addiction recovery programs, and food support. By the end of the year, you'll be seeing these new kiosks appearing downtown and in neighborhood commercial corridors across the city. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
To make sure these kiosks serve the entire community, they will be placed in every Council district. They are designed to offer information in 10 different languages, are fully ADA-compliant and serve as free Wi-Fi hotspots. https://t.co/FKxoAHy7Zz — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
These kiosks will be an easy and convenient way to find dining, shopping and cultural opportunities nearby and will help feature several Detroit artists and small businesses, similar to what visitors can expect in other major cities. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
I was pleased to join with Eric Larsen of the Downtown Detroit Partnership and Jibran Shermohammed of IKE Smart City, to launch the first of what will be 30 wayfinding kiosks across the city. https://t.co/slKbqxkMz3 — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
With Downtown and Midtown Detroit becoming more popular with visitors and our neighborhood commercial shopping districts like Livernois undergoing a resurgence, we now have a new tool to help people navigate each district. https://t.co/TdpGJ23QUQ — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
We also are at the national average response times for fires and medical emergencies. This is what our firefighters, medics and residents deserve. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Today, Fire Commissioner Chuck Simms welcomed six new fire engines and 10 new ambulances, giving Detroiters one of the youngest fire department fleets in the country with an average age of about 4.5 years. https://t.co/0VKX7STKBN — PolitiTweet.org

Much of this investment is possible thanks to President Biden's American Rescue Plan Act, which is providing $30 mil and Roger Penske, who is donating $5 mil for the reconstruction of the Lenox center in Jefferson Chalmers as part of his Strategic Neighborhood Fund commitment. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
We're also coordinating with our demolition department to remove dangerous vacant buildings near the center and to stabilize and secure others that can be saved. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
After closing in 2019, Helen Moore has fought every day to see the center renovated and reopened. To make this happen, the city will purchase the building and invest $8.5 million to completely revitalize it. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Most of them will be full renovations that will last for the next generation, but we also will be reopening two closed centers and building a new year-round indoor domed sports facility. None of these are more deserving than the Dexter-Elmhurst Community Center. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Since the 1980s, city leaders had closed down 20 recreation centers, leaving our children and seniors with very few options. We're starting to reverse that trend by investing more than $45 million into nearly a dozen rec centers. https://t.co/42b2Lc7inl — PolitiTweet.org

Whether you’re a resident or business owner, you can take part in Detroit’s comeback by visiting https://t.co/A4Je1wxapO to see what opportunities are available to you. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Residents can also find information on upcoming community meetings, as well as ARPA-related contracting and job opportunities. If you're a supplier, you can use the new ARPA website to apply for bids and view pending and approved contracts. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
This week we launched a brand new website that details the status of more than 80 ARPA-funded initiatives and how this funding is being spent in areas ranging from blight remediation to job training opportunities to public safety and other forms of neighborhood investment. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Since then, our city already has programmed more than $500 million of its share of ARPA funds into programs that invest in our neighborhoods and our residents. As we do this work, our goal is to be the most transparent city in the country in the use of it's ARPA funds. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
When Detroit was awarded $827 million under the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), we held more than 60 community meetings to education the public on the process and to seek residents' input on our spending priorities. — PolitiTweet.org
City of Detroit @CityofDetroit
Detroiters can now track the progress of City projects funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)! Check out… https://t.co/Fyd7oy5aX6
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
The equity of who participates will be just as important as how the new boulevard will look. We can replicate what we did on Livernois when we worked with neighbors to reimagine that historic business district, which is now the city's most vibrant Black-owned business corridor. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
It was Black residents and Black businesses that were hurt when Black Bottom was wiped out and they were displaced for the construction of this freeway. Black businesses today should benefit from the enormous development opportunities this project will create. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
As development has pushed east from downtown and west from lafayette park, the barrier that I-375 represents in our city has become even more apparent. Removing the freeway ditch and replacing it with a street-level boulevard will unlock enormous development opportunities. https://t.co/fEPHP9J1WA — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Right now we are suing that other owner and one way or another will get the Packard Plant addressed so Detroit is no longer known for having the largest abandoned auto plant in the world. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
While most people are familiar with the lack of progress by the majority private owner, a company called the Display Group owns one portion and has shown it can be adaptively reused. https://t.co/ikhXChFknO — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
But the worst of all of them - the Packard Plant - still needs to be addressed. It's a massive complex of 47 individual properties, some privately owned and some city owned. The City has already demolished 100,000 square feet of the portion it owns and soon will remove more. https://t.co/7hYrNIQTme — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Over the past few years, we've been able to address 11 of the city's most notorious blighted properties including the Train Station, Book Building, State Fairgrounds, Cadillac Stamping Plant and work soon will start on the abandoned AMC headquarters, Fisher Body 21 and Lee Plaza. — PolitiTweet.org
Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan
Our City Walls program has given Detroit artists the opportunity to turn facades across Detroit into works of art and developments like the Joe Louis Greenway and the Ralph C. Wilson Park on the West Riverfront will create recreational opportunities for residents. https://t.co/uw32Srq3S9 — PolitiTweet.org
