Many of the commercial roads, like the Livernois corridor, had run-down streets and vacant buildings, but we’ve invested in completely transforming these areas into vibrant, walkable areas to bring businesses back to our neighborhoods. https://t.co/KznlMLH3E1 — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve spent years focusing on removing the eyesores across Detroit and eradicating our reputation as a City of ruin and blight. And while we still have more work to do, we’ve made enough progress where we can begin to shift that focus to creating more beauty across our City. https://t.co/7WKeTY2DW7 — PolitiTweet.org

I’d like to thank @GM for hosting the event at Factory Zero, which is an example of a massive facility we saved from potential abandonment, as well as an example of new opportunity for our city and its people.

After living for decades with the reputation of being a city of blight, we are getting closer to the day when the vacant homes and massive abandoned buildings will be gone for good or renewed and Detroit once again can be known as a city of beauty. — PolitiTweet.org

A decade ago, Detroit was known internationally for its ruins - decaying old buildings like the Train Station, Cadillac Stamping Plant, Book Tower and more. We’ve addressed most of them, but tonight I'll discuss our plan to remove all major commercial blight from our City. https://t.co/IsVePPcZGx — PolitiTweet.org

Based on City Council’s vote, it’s clear that the people of this City stand behind our police officers.

Not only will they be taking Fisher Body 21 from blight to beauty, they have committed to making sure Detroiters are able to take part in the redevelopment of this building.

Demolition looked like the only future possible, until two Detroiters and leading city developers, Greg Jackson and Richard Hosey, got inside. Now what was once considered one of the City’s biggest eyesores, has the opportunity to be transformed into apartments and retail space. — PolitiTweet.org

For more than 25 years, the Fisher Body 21 plant in the Medbury Park neighborhood has stood as an international symbol of our city's decline. Over the years, developer after developer came through the building and said the same thing: "It can't be saved. Tear it down." https://t.co/3CYfkC3IfK — PolitiTweet.org

In his latest piece, Jamon does a terrific job detailing the history of some of Detroit’s most talented Black doctors and the challenges they faced. Their collective dedication to providing healthcare to the Black community was a direct response to medical racism at that time. — PolitiTweet.org

History only matters if it is remembered. This is exactly why we hired the city’s first official Historian, Jamon Jordan, so Detroit’s rich - and sometimes painful - history can inform the decisions we make today. https://t.co/XTwNzdLudS — PolitiTweet.org
