$300,000 invested in Detroit’s next wave of innovation. Through Round 2 of the Detroit Startup Fund, 13 startups received funding to grow and scale their work right here in Detroit. These founders are building solutions across industries — and helping drive the city forward.
Mayor Mary Sheffield is expanding Detroit’s investment in affordable housing.
A new Executive Order will direct 100% of proceeds from city-owned commercial property sales into the Affordable Housing Development and Preservation Trust Fund, more than doubling annual contributions to about $4 million.
Led by the City’s Housing and Revitalization Department (HRD), the fund supports new housing, preserves existing units, and helps keep rents affordable for Detroiters who need it most.
That means expanding access to safe, stable, affordable housing across our neighborhoods.

Mayor Mary Sheffield has signed an executive order to expand mid-block lighting across Detroit, with a plan to install 3,000 new lights on residential streets.
Working alongside the Public Lighting Authority (PLA), Mayor Sheffield is advancing a plan to prioritize mid-block areas across Detroit neighborhoods, in many cases doubling visibility between existing corner lights.
Through the “Brighten Up the Block” initiative, residents will have the opportunity to share where lighting is needed most through community meetings in every council district.
Backed by a $10 million investment, this effort is driven by resident feedback and focused on improving safety, visibility, and quality of life across Detroit neighborhoods, with installation set to begin this summer.
Wildemere Bar and Grill is now open in the Martin Park neighborhood! Founded by Detroit native Corey Williams and his family, this new space brings jobs, energy, and a neighborhood gathering spot to W. McNichols — building on years of investment in the community. Supported by a $50,000 Motor City Match grant, this opening marks the program’s 202nd ribbon cutting and continued investment in Detroit’s neighborhoods and small businesses.
Mayor Mary Sheffield will deliver her first proposed budget address as Mayor on Monday, March 9 at 10 a.m.
The Fiscal Year 2027 budget presentation marks Detroit’s 13th consecutive balanced budget and outlines the city’s financial priorities for the years ahead.
