Detroit City Councilman Fred Durhal III discusses his run for mayor on January 30, 2025.
Detroit mayoral candidate and City Councilman Fred Durhal III last week announced his strategic plan for improving the city, including cracking down on blight and implementing a more “equitable tax strategy.”
His plan emphasizes the importance of cutting taxes and red tape when necessary, reinvesting in communities and “main streets,” creating more affordable housing and expanding Detroit’s development authority to Midtown, Corktown and to Gratiot, near Eastern Market. Durhal also wants to see more thriving business corridors, more Detroit enterprises and more city residents.
He joined The Metro on Wednesday to expand upon the priorities laid out in his strategic economic plan for the city of Detroit.
