'Demolition Man' Addresses Rotary

Brian Farkas, Director of Special Projects for the Detroit Building Authority, was the guest speaker at the Wednesday, Jan. 25, evening meeting of Rotary of Grosse Pointe at The War Memorial. His topic was about the Detroit Demolition Program.

In the last 2 ½ years, over 10,000 homes have been demolished, he said. His department’s goal is to remove blight to stabilize neighborhoods and let the market take over to increase the value of the surrounding homes.
