Post# of 1352
Based on conversations with several Detroit construction contractors, establishing two new strategically placed construction and demolition recycling centers would result in immediate demolition cost savings and job creation. Ideally located inside the city limits; one on the east side and one on the west side, these recycling centers could save up to $1,000 per demolition project. Assuming 72,000 structural demolition candidates, this could result in an overall cost savings of up to $72 million. In addition, the same two recycling centers have the potential to create 120 direct general laborer jobs for Detroiters.
