Inkster authorizes right of first refusal on tax-foreclosed properties and vendor agreements for neighborhood stabilization
Summary
Council authorized the city to exercise first right of refusal to purchase tax-foreclosed properties from the Wayne County treasurer and voted to enter contracts with vendors for the Inkster Neighborhood Stabilization Program for 2026-27; the motion passed unanimously by the voting members present (3-0).
Council considered a two-part proposal to (1) authorize Inkster to exercise its first right of refusal to purchase tax-foreclosed properties from the Wayne County treasurer and (2) enter into contractual agreements with listed vendors to participate in the "Inkster Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2026-27." A council member read the item into the record and asked for a motion; the motion was moved and seconded.
The measure was approved by voice vote; the clerk recorded the outcome as "3 to nothing." No contract dollar amounts or named vendor lists were read into the record at the meeting, and the clerk said specific vendor identities would be included in the contracting paperwork. Council did not debate financing at length at the meeting. The action signals local steps to preserve and rehab tax-foreclosed stock through a neighborhood-stabilization program and to secure vendor support for implementation.
