Demolition comes after years of delay.
Four towers of the Jeffries Housing project were imploded Sunday, each 14-story structure falling in succession like dominoes into a pillar of dust. The Detroit News Workers check out of the rubble left after the implosion of the Jeffries high-rises which in recent years had been plagued with management problems and crime. The single-family homes, duplexes and town houses will be from 1,400 to 2,600 square feet. Public funding makes up less than one-third of total cost. Hundreds of onlookers lined Martin Luther King Boulevard to witness the event.
