Sheffield committees weigh in on role of education, arts in Detroit’s future
As Sheffield enters her second month as Detroit mayor, she has already filled key cabinet positions and kicked off a series of new initiatives. Sheffield announced plans last month to launch the popular Rx Kids program in Detroit, which opened applications this week. The mayor unveiled a plan to reshuffle city departments focused on health and human services and a crackdown on senior housing conditions. She also launched a citywide survey seeking feedback from residents on six priority topics that will be used to inform her governing agenda. The survey is open through March 6.
