Businesses raise millions to keep lights on in Mexicantown
Updated On: Mar 04 2013 09:00:33 PM EST
Business owners in Detroit's Mexicantown are taking back their streets by helping light the way.
Residents in the stretch of West Vernor said they were disappointed to learn their neighborhood wasn't part of Detroit's five-year repair plan. The infrastructure of their street lights is crumbling, literally leaving them in the dark.
"Residents don't feel like they have a stake in their own city," said Tolu Olorunda.
Other say safety is the concern.
"Criminals are comfortable in the dark, they like to be hidden. They can work better and function better in the dark," said area business owner Jamahl Makled. "We are constantly paranoid. How are we going to get in and out of the store every day? It's a constant fear we have."
The Southwest Detroit Business Association spent more than $40,000 last year to clean up graffiti in the neighborhoods. Now, they're taking aim at keeping the lights on.
The association has raised $6.4 million through grants and partnerships over the last four years to power street lights along West Vernor between Woodmere and Clark.
Teresa Zajac, the association's programs director, said the money isn't just going to light bulbs but to restore the wiring and aesthetics of the streetlights.
The 2.3 mile stretch will get 171 new lights.
Construction is slated to start in November and be completed in a year.
The association is still looking to raise $400,000 by the time the project kicks off.

According to an NRD news release obtained by the Cassgram, these programs for communities in Cass County and nearby are part of the package:

Balanced revenues and expenditures in the budget total $24,176,136. The budget requires just under $9 million in property taxes, a 2.5 percent increase over last year and the first increase in the NRD's property tax requirement in seven years.
Detailed information about the budget is available at lpsnrd.org.

November 26, 2014
BOSTON (AP) - The Massachusetts medical examiner's office says cyanide poisoning killed an alleged extortion victim of James "Whitey" Bulger who had hoped to testify at Bulger's trial.
A spokeswoman for the Middlesex District Attorney's Office said Sunday that the medical examiner concluded that acute cyanide toxicity killed 59-year-old Stephen Rakes of Quincy in July. His death was ruled a homicide.
Rakes learned before his death that he wouldn't be called as a witness against Bulger, the Boston gangster convicted of murder in August.
Authorities say Rakes' death wasn't related to the Bulger case. Rakes' business associate, 69-year-old William Camuti of Sudbury, was charged with attempted murder and other crimes in Rakes' death and has pleaded not guilty.
Officials say they will now seek additional charges against Camuti.
