An Introduction to the Windsor

Detroit Bridge Authority
Created in 2012, the WindsorDetroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) is
a not for profit Canadian Crown corporation which reports to Parliament
through the Minister of Infrastructure
and Communities. As such, WDBA is
wholly owned by the Government of
Canada Crown, but is structured like
a private company and operates independently from government.
The WDBA will manage the process to hire the contractors to design,
construct, finance, operate and maintain the Gordie Howe International

ALLANANDO EL CAMINO

Una introduccin
al Puente Authority
de Detroit-Windsor
Al tomar un vistazo a la comunidad desde
una base puramente estadstica, principalmente
tomando en consideracin al Censo de Estados
Unidos y otra informacin adicional, hay algunos
nmeros importantes a considerar.
- Mientras que el Suroeste es uno de los barrios ms densamente poblados de Detroit, a partir
de 2000-2010, la zona perdi 19% de su poblacin
(censo de los EEUU)
- Social Compact realiz recientemente un examen complejo de los indicadores econmicos, demostrando que los ingresos son significativamente
ms altos que en los datos del censo, debido a una
extensa economa monetaria
- Estudios recientes de vivienda documentan
la necesidad de una mayor diversidad de tipos de
vivienda (casas unidas, no muy diferentes a las
unidades histricas en el Hubbard Farms)
- Estudios de ventas minoristas recientes han
demostrado una fuga de los gastos de residentes de ms de $ 100 millones, principalmente en
productos agrarios y textiles, incluyendo artculos para el hogar, prendas de vestir y accesorios,
artculos deportivos y mercanca en general
La comunidad ha pedido lo siguiente: un centro
de empleo y para la venta de productos locales,
un lugar de encuentro para la comunidad, y un
destino importante para los residentes y visitantes
para comprar bienes en un entorno que refleja la
cultura y el carcter del Suroeste de Detroit.
El antiguo patio DPW en la W. Vernor y
Livernois, ahora vacante, despojado y contaminado, es una responsabilidad de la ciudad con
un enorme potencial para convertirse en un bien
comunitario. Si usted est interesado en ayudar
a avanzar el desarrollo, por favor pngase en contacto con Ouida (pronunciado Ui-da) Jones con la

lenten Mexican dessert.

The Capirotada has religious symbolism, which
is precisely why it is
consumed during Lent:
the bread represents the
body of Christ, honey, the

blood of Christ, the cloves

represent the nails with
which He was nailed to
the cross, cinnamon is the
cross, and the cheese is
the shroud.
Theres barely a res-

taurant in southwest
Detroit that does not
have non-meat items on
their varied and delicious
menus. So, enjoy Lenten
specials in the neighborhood!

with equal representation from Canada

and Michigan.
Progress and Results for the 201415 fiscal year can be found on the
WDBA website.
Some key information shared: the
Bridge will be built within a fixed price
contract. $870 billion of trade occurs
between the U.S. and Canada annually. Windsor Detroit handles 30% of
the truck trade, which equals over $100
billion per year. The plaza on the U.S.
side is 130 acres; on the Canadian side,

148 acres. The U.S. federal departments engaged in the development

include U.S. DOT FHWA, Customs
and Border Protection and the General
Services Administration.
This development will change
the communities on both shores of
the Detroit River, the Windsor Essex
region, the Detroit metropolitan region,
the province of Ontario, the state of
Michigan and the entire Great Lakes
Region in both countries. More to
come.

Vernor business corridor.
The Detroit business market is
beginning to bounce back from
the recession. Occupancy in the
West Vernor business corridor is
around 70%, where pre-recession
it was at 87%. It is vital that
the SDBA take advantage of
the renewed local, regional and
international interest in the
business corridors to sustain and
grow the economic vitality of the
business and residential communities.

The objective of the
Real Estate Advocate will be to

develop and implement a process

that makes it easier to connect
entrepreneurs and small business owners with real estate
opportunities, whether leasing or
purchasing property in the West
Vernor business districts. The
expected outcome is to reduce
the vacancy rate within the business district, expand the tenant
mix, and create jobs.

The SDBA knows that
one-on-one work is necessary
to move property owners, small
business owners and entrepreneurs from an idea to execu-

tion. Mr. Greg Mangan, the

Real Estate Advocate, will provide that assistance. His work
directly dovetails into Motor City
Match, connecting first time and
expanding businesses with quality real estate locations in SW,
providing funding and tools to

fuel the citys entrepreneurial

revolution. If you own a vacant
property anywhere on Vernor
or Springwells, or if you see
an opportunity in this market,
please contact Greg at gregm@
southwestdetroit.com or by calling 313.842.0986 ext. 27.

e implementar un proceso que
hace que sea ms fcil conectar a
los empresarios y propietarios de

de la West Vernor. El resultado
esperado es reducir la tasa de

crear puestos de trabajo.
El SDBA sabe que es necesario proveer apoyo con juntas

Southwest Detroit Site Featured at

MOCAD February 25th Presentation
Continued from page 5

Ponce de Leon says

that those sites were
selected because they
represent common
challenges modern cities face.
A series of community meetings
were organized for
the teams when they
visited Detroit to
check out the sites.
They spent a lot of

time meeting with

community groups,
nonprofit organizations, and business
leaders and owners,
so that theyd really
get a cross section of
what is happening in
Detroit today and use
that as a catalyst for
new ways of thinking
about urban problems.

The proposed
designs will be put
on display in Venice
May 28 through
November 27,
2016 after which
the presentations
will be brought
back to Detroit in
the winter of 2017
and displayed at

Its the Law / Es la Ley

by Gary Howard

What You Should

Know In Purchasing
A Home
With the warm
weather rapidly
approaching many families will begin to explore
the possibility of purchasing a new house.
Potential buyers should
understand certain fundamental elements in
purchasing a property.
First and probably
the most important document in a real estate
transfer is the preparation of the Purchase
Agreement. The
Purchase Agreement
outlines the terms of the
sale and which party
is responsible for what
costs. In general, the
seller is responsible for
paying for title insurance and transfer tax
on the property. Title
insurance provides reas-

surance that there are

no liens or taxes owed
on the property. The
amount of transfer tax
paid to the county is
determined by the sales
price. For instance,
for every one thousand
($1,000.00) dollars of
the sale price, the sellers pays eight ($8.60)
dollars and sixty cents
in transfer tax. The
buyer is normally
responsible for his / her
own mortgage costs.
After execution of the Purchase
Agreement, in most
instances, the buyer will
apply for a mortgage.
Normally, the mortgage
company requires verification of income going
back anywhere between
six (6) to twelve (12)
months and other
financial data from
the buyer. Thereafter,

A Trusted, Experienced Attorney

Can Make All The Difference
La Oficina de abogados

SDBA

the mortgage company

sends out an appraiser
to verify that the house
is worth the sales price
listed in the purchase
agreement. These steps
take approximately thirty (30) to forty-five (45)
days after the application for the mortgage is
submitted.
Once the mortgage
company has determined that the buyer
has qualified for the
loan and the house has
properly appraised, a
closing is scheduled. It
is at the closing that
all documents, including the deed to the
house, will be signed
and the transfer completed. Knowing these
simple elements will
assist in the administration of the transaction
however, it is always
recommended that an
attorney be retained to
prepare and review all
documents to ensure a
smooth transaction.

Lo Que Usted Debe

Saber En La Compra
De Una Casa
Con el clima clido
acercndose rpidamente a muchas familias
comenzarn a explorar
la posibilidad de comprar una nueva casa.
Compradores potenciales deben entender

ciertos elementos fundamentales en la compra

de una propiedad.
Primero y probablemente el documento
ms importante en una
transferencia de bienes
races es la preparacin
del acuerdo de compraventa. El acuerdo de
compra esboza los trminos de la venta y que
parte es responsable
de lo que los costos. En
general, el vendedor es
responsable de pagar
por seguro de ttulo y el
impuesto de transferencia sobre la propiedad.
Seguro de ttulo proporciona seguridad de que
no hay gravmenes ni
impuestos debidos en
la propiedad. La cantidad de impuesto de
transferencia pagado al
condado se determina
por el precio de venta.
Por ejemplo, por cada 1
mil dlares ($1.000.00)
del precio de venta, los
vendedores paga ocho
($8.60) dlares y sesenta
centavos en el impuesto
de impuesto de transferencia. El comprador
es normalmente responsable por los gastos de
su propia hipoteca.
Despus de la ejecucin del acuerdo de
venta en la mayora de
los casos, el comprador
se aplicar para un
prstamo hipotecario.

Normalmente, la compaa hipotecaria requiere

verificacin de ingresos
va hacia atrs en cualquier lugar entre seis
(6) a doce (12) meses y
otros datos financieros
del comprador. Despus
de eso, la compaa
hipotecaria enva un
tasador para verificar
que la casa vale la pena
el precio de venta que
figuran en el contrato
de compraventa. Estos
pasos toman aproximadamente de treinta (30)
a cuarenta y cinco (45)
das despus de la solicitud de la hipoteca.
Una vez que la
compaa hipotecaria
ha determinado que el
comprador ha calificado
para el prstamo y la
casa ha valorado correctamente, est programado un cierre. Es
el cierre que se firmar
todos los documentos,
incluyendo la escritura de la casa y la
transferencia completada. Conociendo estos
elementos simples le
ayudar a la administracin de la operacin
sin embargo, siempre es
recomendable que conserve un abogado para
preparar y revisar todos
los documentos para
garantizar una operacin suave.

The one thing that I recommend to

anyone looking for a new doctor is
Experience.

Dr. Thomas Moses and Dr. Larry Bryant offer more than
60 years of experience and have treated over 33 thousand
patients. Whether a doctor has treated problems similar
to yours, 10 times or thousands of times, experience is the
most important point in making your decision.

The chiropractic physician deals primarily with conditions

involving the spine and the nervous system. We all know
the importance of the spine, as well as the intense pain and
disability that can result from injury to the spine and
nervous system. Look for experience in choosing the
Doctor of Chiropractic.

Often
patients ask me: What is the
best toothpaste to use?
The answer depends on
a patients needs, how decay
prone, how sensitive to temperatures, or ones tendency for gum
disease.
Age: young ones with newly
erupted teeth do benefit from
fluoride toothpaste and fluoride
applications after their professional cleanings.
If a person is decay prone:
can also benefit from fluoride
toothpaste, rinses, and prescription strength fluoride pastes or
gels after flossing and brushing.
These persons need to reduce
sugary beverages and foods &
food that break down to sugars
such as breads & pastries.
Tooth or teeth sensitivities:
temperature sensitivity can be
reduced by desensitizing toothpastes which need to be used
exclusively for at least three
weeks to build up their protection.
If the situation doesnt
improve: see your dentist
because it may be due to an
excessively heavy bite on a tooth
or group of teeth or due to dentinal tubes exposure, indicating decay, or toothbrush abra-

sion (always use a soft bristled
