DETROIT -- The Detroit Blight Removal Task Force plans to share details of a comprehensive survey and recommendations to deal with abandoned structures and vacant lots.
Business, government and nonprofit leaders gather Tuesday morning at Focus: HOPE's Center for Advanced Technologies to release findings from months of research.
Presenters include Detroit businessman and Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert and Detroit Public Schools Foundation President Glenda Price. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and state-appointed Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr also are expected to participate.
One highlight is the Motor City Mapping project, which surveyed the entire city. Teams covered about 380,000 parcels to get a clear picture of the city's blight.
The work is part of efforts announced last year by the Obama administration to help Detroit, which is undergoing the nation's largest municipal bankruptcy.
