Romulus officials, including Mayor Robert McCraight and Police Chief Robert Pfannes, accepted a $100,000 check last week from the Romulus Public Safety Foundation. The funds will be used for the purchase of two new police vehicles, officials said. The money was donated to the foundation by Ashley Capita and the check was officially presented to McCraight by Ashley Capital Vice President Kyle Morton. “Creative partnerships with stakeholders that have a vision of Romulus that is aligned with ours is a tremendous benefit. A safer Romulus is a better Romulus for all of us,” McCraight commented. Founded in 1984, Ashley Capital is one of the largest privately held real estate investment companies in the country. The Ashley’ Capital current portfolio stands at approximately $30 million, with properties concentrated throughout the eastern half of the United States, according to the company website.
