"BLIGHT"

Parts of the Bankruptcy Third Amended Disclosure Statement, April 25, 2014

"(b) City-Owned Land
An estimated 22 square miles of land within City limits is government-owned, including parcels owned by the City, Wayne County and the State. Many of these parcels are vacant overgrown lots with illegal dumping or contain abandoned buildings in need of demolition. It has been estimated that the City owns approximately 60,000 parcels of vacant land and approximately 10% of the estimated 78,000 vacant structures within City limits. The vast majority of City-owned parcels have limited present commercial value. The City's efforts to address blight, remove vacant structures and encourage beneficial uses of City-owned land – which measures include initiatives involving the Detroit Land Bank Authority and the Michigan Land Bank – are addressed in Section IX.B.1 of this Disclosure Statement." PDF 109 Third Amended Disclosure Statement

"with respect to non-governmental stakeholders: the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation (a section 501(c)(3) entity contracted by the City to provide real estate, development and fiduciary services), the Blight Authority (a Michigan non-profit entity specializing in scale and brush clearing) and DTE (responsible for supplying or cutting power to blighted structures/parcels), among numerous other interested parties." PDF p 134 Third Amended Disclosure Statement

"8. Demolition Initiatives
In April 2010, the City launched a program to take initial steps toward addressing urban blight within the City. This program had the goal of demolishing 10,000 vacant structures (i.e., approximately 13% of the vacant structures within the City and 26% of such buildings classified as dangerous) within three years. Over 5,000 structures had been demolished, but the City lacked sufficient funding to complete the project by its target date of December 2013. The City also
commenced an ancillary demolition initiative in partnership with the State, pursuant to which $10 million has been allocated to the targeted demolition of 1,234 structures located in the vicinity of schools. As of February 28, 2013, 179 structures had been demolished pursuant to this ancillary initiative (and another 56 were under contract to be demolished)."  PDF Page 140 Third Amended Disclosure Statement

"As more fully described in Exhibit I, the City intends to distribute the $1.40 billion in reinvestment as follows: Blight Remediation $440.3 million"  PDF Page  172 Third Amended Disclosure Statement Note: This is the highest line item in the entire "reinvestment." 

"1. Blight Removal
Reduction of urban blight is among the City's highest reinvestment priorities. The City anticipates that a substantial reduction in blighted structures and properties would, among other things: (a) stabilize the City's eroding property values and property tax base; (b) allow the City to more efficiently and effectively deliver municipal services; (c) improve the health, safety and quality of life for City residents; (d) foster increased land utilization within the City; and (e) dramatically improve the national perception of the City. To this end, the City proposes to invest a total of $440.3 million over the course of the next six Fiscal Years to
remediate residential blight within the City. Among other things, this investment will allow the BSEED to increase the rate of residential demolitions from an average of 450 demolitions per month to an average of approximately 725 per month. The City intends to focus its initial demolition efforts around schools and other areas identified by the Detroit Works Project and the Detroit Future City project. The City estimates that it will invest the following amounts toward blight
removal during each of Fiscal Years 2014 through 2019:
Fiscal Year Expenditure
2014 $3.2 million
2015 $113.6 million
2016 $103.5 million
2017 $80.0 million
2018 $80.0 million
2019 $80.0 million
These efforts currently are – and will continue to be – complemented by discrete blight remediation efforts. For example, the Michigan State Housing Development Authority has allocated $52 million to the City (out of $100 million received from the U.S. Treasury from its "Hardest Hit Fund"). These funds – administered through the Detroit Land Bank Authority (in conjunction with the Michigan Land Bank) – will allow for blight elimination on 4,000 to 6,000 publicly owned residential structures over a 15-month period. Other complementary blight elimination efforts include: (a) a pilot program implemented by a nongovernmental non-profit agency (addressing blight in the Eastern Market and Brightmoor sections of the City); (b) the "Hantz Woodlands" urban farming project, in connection with which a 150-acre, 1,500-parcel tract of land on the City's lower east side has been acquired by a private party and is being cleared of blight and maintained; and (c) the devotion of $12 million in recently repurposed HUD funds for the targeting of commercial demolition during Fiscal Year 2014. Additionally, in September 2013, President Obama's administration announced a planned investment of $300 million in public and private aid to the City, a portion of which would be earmarked for blight removal efforts. As set forth at Section VII.C.7.c, remediating blight requires the coordination of – and the City intends to coordinate with – a multiplicity of government agencies at the local, state and federal levels, and certain interested nongovernmental organizations. Coordination and cooperation among these entities is critical to the success of the City's reinvestment efforts....In so doing, the City can raise investor
confidence and effect lasting change in economic growth and quality of life. In developing its blight removal initiative, the City has taken into account the proposals set forth in the Detroit Future City Strategic Framework (the "Strategic Framework"), and the City" PDF Page 172-173 Third Amended Disclosure Statement

  • The Free Press published a Jones Day email sent from Kevyn Orr to Corinne Ball and Steve Brogan Jan. 31, 2013 that says: "Thank you for thinking of alternative ways to skin this cat...in thinking about the EM position I went back and looked at the SIGTARP legislation and the federal law authorizing the creation of the DC Control Board in 95. Both gave those managers tremendous powers, but neither was subject to questions about the authority of the Congress to enact them and the President's authority to sign them into law. By contrast, Michigan's EM law is a clear end around the prior initiative that was rejected by the voters in November...So although the new law [EM law] provides the thin veneer of a revision it is essentially a redo of the prior rejected law and appears to merely adopts the conditions necessary for a chapter 9 filing. The news reports state that opponents of the prior law are already lining up to challenge this law. Nonetheless I am going to speak with Baird in a few minutes to see what his thinking is." http://archive.freep.com/assets/freep/pdf/c4208919722.jpg"
