Detroit and State Reach Agreement on Belle Isle Management

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and Michigan Governor Rick Snyder announced an agreement Wednesday morning that will provide for the state to manage the City’s largest park, Belle Isle, and provide for much needed improvements.

The State of Michigan will lease the park for 30 years, saving the City some $275 million during that period. Beginning in March of 2013, motorists will be required to have the State’s $10 recreational passport to enter the park as it will become a State Park.

Under the agreement, which still needs approval from the Detroit City Council, the State and the City will work together on a plan for major improvements and renovations to the park, as well as a security plan.
