In August Sen. George met with the Motor City Blight Busters in Detroit where he introduced his plan to create a Detroit/Wayne County Redevelopment Authority. “I am looking forward to returning to Detroit and cycling through the city to see how such a proposal will give communities and the city another tool to help address blighted properties,” said George.
