Map: Detroit Schools Traded for Debt Forgiveness 2014

This map is wild because the City of Detroit accepted more vacant land and structures from the old school district in exchange for unpaid electrical debt.

Since 2014, many of those properties remained vacant and unused as documented in the After School Detroit assessment conducted by Interboro Partners, WJE, and BJH in 2020. Maybe many of these sites will become solar farms as the Mayor has recently presented?
