One of the ideas from Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan during his campaign was to sell empty lots in the city for a small price to be used for the owner’s (legal) discretion. Looks like Duggan is keeping his promise, as such a program is coming to fruition.
Duggan tweeted last night that a pilot program to sell lots in the city for $100 is under way in Southwest Detroit. The lots are ones that likely are owned by the city, whether naturally empty or vacant by means of home demolition. They’re probably not huge lots; likely just enough for a home that used to be there.
