Mike Duggan

Mayor Mike Duggan highlighted his administration's plans and initiatives in his ninth annual State of the City address Wednesday night.

All full-time Detroit police officers, as well as police assistants, will be getting a bonus from the City of Detroit.

After a multi-million dollar budget cut in 2020 due to the pandemic, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan presented a new budget to City Council. In council chambers on Monday, Duggan and other city officials presented a $1.2 billion general spending fund plan.

The average value of a Detroit home rose more than 30% in the past year. It’s up more than 60% since 2018.

The $10 million contribution will go toward the Detroit Housing for the Future Fund, a private investment fund that aims to foster affordable housing projects by covering some of developers’ costs with grants and low-interest loans.

Detroit already has one rapid testing site at the Joseph Walker Williams Recreation Center. Mayor Mike Duggan said the city will now add another at Huntington Place (formerly the TCF Center). He said Detroit should have the capacity to test 1,000 people every day.

On Thursday, Duggan announced that the city has a deal to sell the former AMC site and some surrounding land parcels—more than 50 acres altogether--to Kansas City-based industrial developer NorthPoint.

The amnesty was written into the 2019 auto no-fault insurance law. It allows people who have gone uninsured to buy auto insurance without penalty.

Duggan was the clear favorite to win Tuesday's election after first winning in 2013 and taking over in January 2014.

Detroit has a mayoral election on Tuesday. Two-term incumbent Mike Duggan is being challenged by Anthony Adams, the city’s former deputy mayor.
