A new guidebook being unveiled today in Lansing will give Michigan communities the tools and resources to help address blight and vacant structures.
The Michigan Vacant Property Campaign will release the Michigan Blight Elimination Guidebook today during the Building Michigan Communities Conference in Lansing. This is a new, free resource for Michigan communities to use to address blight and vacancy issues.
The guidebook is available online at miblightguidebook.org – making it an ever-changing document that compiles the most recent blight mitigation resources, opportunities, and ideas from across the state. It also serves as a primer for Michigan communities interested in developing a strategy to more effectively address blight with limited resources. The document is designed to provide municipal leaders with a variety of blight elimination resources and lead them through the development of a blight elimination plan.
