The location is within minutes of Downtown Detroit. The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) is seeking proposals to support the activation and stewardship of vacant land sites, including urban agriculture, gardening, or beautification, whether for profit or community activation. Interested buyers should consult the DLBA's proposal guidelines for land-based sites and their Guide to Plot Plan, Site Design, and Maintenance.
