Original Paragraph
Flint,
the cold climate city located in Genesee County around 60 miles north of
Detroit that was “once a powerhouse of
automobile production”, had been devastated by deindustrialization lasting
decades(wsnws.org). The deindustrialization of Flint has led the city to a
higher rate of poverty and the city to financial trouble, with a $30 million
deficit (source). In 2013, Governor of
Michigan Rick Snyder appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley to the city of
Flint in order to help the city cut back on costs in an effort to alleviate the
city off of financial struggles. The emergency manager is an official handpicked
from the political vines by Governor Rick Snyder himself who is sent to a city
in financial debt. While emergency managers are appointed to a city, the local
officials of the city are sucked off of their political powers due to the
emergency managers being present… shout out to Public Act 4 of Michigan for
providing emergency managers with this power (Michigan Radio). At the time,
Flint had already been purchasing its water from the city of Detroit for more
than forty years. The price for the water was pretty hefty at around $12
million a year (the atlantic). The emergency manager of Flint realized that if
there could be a way to stop buying that expensive Detroit water, the financially
troubled city could save some serious cash. So the city of Flint and other regions
in Genesee County getting water from Detroit decided to switch its source of
water by agreeing in early 2014 to use a pipeline called the Karegnondi Water
Authority, or KWA (the atlantic). There was one problem: the KWA pipeline would
not be completely constructed from Lake Huron to mid-Michigan until 2016(atlantic?).

I would say the rewritten material is slightly more formal than the original works and it easier on the eyes since it is shorter.
