GPA President’s Message
Hello to everyone; I hope you had a blessed “Resurrection Easter.” For those who sacrificed for Lent, started your Daniels Diet; or just decided to do something special and holy to enhance yourself, I hope you were successful and I congratulate you.
In GPA business, as always there are some issues of concern!
First, there is this new tax or fee initiative the City of Detroit is implementing in certain communities where they are paying extra to have additional security, snow plowing and mosquito abatement spraying… there are some pros and cons on this issue. At our April 16
th
General Membership meeting, there will be some officials present to explain the particulars of this issue. I therefore need your presence and thoughts on this issue.
Next, the debate and battle continues regarding Medical Marijuana Dispensaries within our area. This discussion will continue at our General Membership Meeting.
The status of public lighting in our area will be updated and addressed.
Your attendance at Saturday, April 16th General Membership Meeting will be of
importance because “Recall Governor Synder Petitions” will be available as well as a short briefing regarding this initiative.
We will continue to address the issues within our neighborhood, and of course our elected officials, representatives and candidates will be present. Most important is I look forward to seeing you Saturday, April 16, 2016. Remember, we can’t solve the problem or issue, unless we know they exist.

Detroit Promise Zone
Scholarship Detroit high school students will now be
guaranteed two years of free tuition at five
community colleges in metro Detroit. This
commitment was made possible through the
Detroit Promise, an authority that Mayor
Duggan and the Detroit City Council created
to dedicate a portion of tax dollars to
permanently fund two-year scholarships.
The program is available to current high
school seniors who live in Detroit and have
spent their junior and senior years at a high
school in the city. The program would also
not have been possible without the help of
the Detroit Regional Chamber of
Commerce. For more information, go to
www.detroitscholarshipfund.org.

Detroit’s Young
Talent Program The Detroit Pistons
announced Monday a
$100,000 grant and
partnership with Grow
Detroit’s Young Talent, Mayor Mike
Duggan’s effort to help thousands of Detroit
youth get summer jobs. The mayor’s goal is
to place 8,000 youths between 14 and 24
years old into jobs that will provide not only
income, but skills that will last a lifetime. To
date, more than 150 businesses have
