A 99% discount on licensing fees in 2021 and 75% discount on licensing fees in 2022.
A 75% discount on city-owned land.

Individuals also can view several properties the city will be offering at a discount to approved Legacy Detroiter applicants.  The City has compiled a list of 18 vacant city-owned lots and commercial buildings that will be reserved for applicants who have received certification as Legacy Detroiters.

Mayor Duggan credited Councilmember Tate for his extensive work helping to craft an ordinance that puts Detroiters first.  “No matter what you think about legalized marijuana, someone is going to make a lot of money in this new industry and Detroiters should have the first opportunity,” said Mayor Duggan.  “Thanks to Councilmember Tate’s leadership, that opportunity exists.”
