Excerpt:

Arson, rape, kidnapping, assaults, drugs: these crimes and much more harmful activities are taking place in Detroit’s abandoned and derelict buildings.

At a company-wide meeting last month, GB Utilities workers rallied around the concept of “Urban Agriculture.” Cities also are encouraging urban agriculture through the planting of community gardens on vacant lots.

When garages are demolished, the lots left behind may be cleared and cleaned for the planting of gardens. In some neighborhoods, multiple plots may be put together to allow for larger agricultural plantings.

GB Utilities takes every precaution to guarantee a controlled demolition with a focused consideration for all adjacent buildings. “The safety of our employees and clients is our number one priority,” said GB Utilities’ Managing member, L.Ware. “And we have a great deal of pride in our workmanship and in our safe methods and safety procedures.”
