Mayor Duggan's statement on City Council's approval of Solar Neighborhood Plan

"With City Council's approval today of our Solar Neighborhood program, Detroit has become a national leader in the fight against climate change. And we did it with the passionate support of the neighbors.

We will begin to turn more than 100 acres of vacant, blighted land in the State Fair, Gratiot/Findlay and Van Dyke/Lynch neighborhoods into solar arrays that will generate enough energy to power city buildings and strengthen these neighborhoods.

In Detroit, we don't just talk about addressing climate change, we take action."
