Complaints of speeding drivers are piling up in Harper Woods to the point that the police department is teaming up with Wayne County Sheriff’s Office this week to show that area more attention.

For the last 20 years, the property has continued to lose tenants and is struggling. Now a new proposal for the property has emerged.

HARPER WOODS, Mich. – Following the police killing of Black Minneapolis man George Floyd in May, the city of Harper Woods has been working to address racial injustice in the community. Over the summer, separate controversies led to the resignation of the Harper Woods mayor, and the firing of the city’s deputy police chief. Harper Woods city leaders recently said that they have approved a resolution in hopes of taking positive steps in the right direction. Harper Woods has faced its share of racial and social issues -- particularly the recent death of a woman who died while in police custody in June. “It was right after Mr. Floyd’s death, which affected all of us tremendously," said Valerie Kindle, Harper Woods Mayor.
