Belle Isle Conservancy Weighs in on Council's Vote

The Detroit City Council voted 5 to 4 today to ask Mayor Bing to keep the Belle Isle park under the city’s control.

A plan crafted under the consent agreement between the state and city would allow Detroit to own the 983-acre park, while creating new avenues for funding maintenance and improvements in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

Sarah Early is chair of the non-profit Belle Isle Conservancy. She tells WDET’s Travis Wright that a long-term lease of Belle Isle to the state is in the works, and adds she’s disappointed by council’s vote.
