Press Release: The City of Inkster Receives $730,000 Grant

For Immediate Release
June 30, 2009

$730,000 of Neighborhood Stabilization Grants were awarded by Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, with the support of Wayne County Commissioner District Joan Gebhardt serving the 15th Commission District, to the City of Inkster.

As part of the American Recovery and Revitalization Act, the City of Inkster will receive $730,000 from Wayne County for demolition of blighted residential and commercial structures and two schools that have been an eyesore within the community for years.

The City’s Chief Building Official, Ralph Welton, has developed an aggressive demolition program and these funds will assist in that effort. The City is also building partnerships with developers and non-profits to address the problem of vacant and foreclosed property within its neighborhoods. City officials and staff are committed to seeking opportunities to help improve the quality of life within the City and Wayne County has proven to be a consistent ally.
