Arthur Edge, Vice President
Arthur L. Edge, II is a life-long resident of the City of Detroit with a strong passion and commitment for his family, friends, the City of Detroit, and its residents.
Mr. Edge began his career with the City of Detroit in 1995 and was a well-respected City of Detroit employee and a community leader that touched the lives
of many as a positive role model. He is very community oriented, often attending and speaking at city council meetings and going out in the neighborhoods to attend community meetings, often on his own time, just to make sure the community stays informed. He brings their concerns, regarding the vacant and dangerous
properties located within their respective communities, back to the department to make sure they are logged into the dangerous building system.
Arthur took his job as a building supervisor for the Buildings and Safety, Engineering and Environmental Department very seriously. His dedication to
making the City of Detroit safe was not restricted to an 8-hour work shift; he was known to stop permit violators from continuing to work if he discovered them
working without a valid permit after business hours and even on the weekends. Mr. Arthur Edge retired from the City of Detroit in April 2022, after 27 years of
dedicated service.
His ultimate wish is to have a city where young children are no longer walking past, or playing around, open, and dangerous homes.
Arthur has received the Board of Police Commissioners Resolution twice, State of Michigan Certificate of Appreciation, Detroit City Council Testimonial Resolution
and been recognized by Detroit Police Department, as well as Wayne County Commission for his many years of service and community involvement.
Arthur's other passions include cars and formula one racing, standing up in the community against violence and injustice against women, children and seniors, by
becoming an active member of the Detroit 300 Community Action Team; president of his own neighborhood organization Far West Detroit Civic Association; vice
president of Friends of Rouge Park; member of The Sixth Precinct Community Relations Organization, member of the Neighborhood Partnership Alliance,
member of the Revive Detroit CDC and president of the Civic Optimist Club of Detroit. In his spare time, he works with community leaders of Project We Hope
Dream and Believe on restoring the Malcolm X House located in Inkster, Michigan.
Whenever the opportunity presents itself, Arthur likes to mentor young men. His wisdom, strength, courage and love for his family, friends and for our great City of
Detroit are just a few of the things that make Arthur such an inspiration to those who know and love him.
