Flint, Michigan — The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has granted $76,680 to the Genesee County Land Bank to help update and strengthen Flint’s blight elimination plan and coordinate efforts to fight blight throughout the city.
The Land Bank will partner with the Flint Police Foundation on the initiative. Natalie Pruett, executive director of the Flint Police Foundation, said the organizations’ efforts will build upon a five-year blight elimination framework that was completed in 2014 and adopted in 2015.
