Salvation Army makes deal to buy Detroit land for center The Salvation Army/Eastern Michigan Division has negotiated purchase agreements with the city of Detroit and the Detroit Housing Commission for 30.24 acres in Detroit for construction of a 100,000-square-foot community center. The center would be named for Joan Kroc, the late wife of McDonald’s Corp. founder Ray Kroc who left the Alexandria, Va.-based Salvation Army network $2 billion late in 2003 for construction and endowment of community centers across the country.

Looks like a good place for a community center. Lots of well populated neighborhoods nearby, and close to Chandler Park, which already draws people in itself. |
