Carl Levin, General Motors Corp., the Kresge Foundation and others. The land, owned by Gannett Co. Inc., is midway between Cobo Center and the Ambassador Bridge, with 2,160 feet of Detroit River frontage. Development plans for the site include an extension of the RiverWalk for jogging, walking and cycling. The RiverWalk's east riverfront stretch, between GM's Renaissance Center headquarters and Belle Isle, is about 75% complete. | ||

Whoa! Great news, Tiorted. Wonder after all those years handling paper, is there a dioxin collection there? Always wondered why that parcel next to the Freep distribution plant was never developed...always thought it HAD to be an EPA thing. | ||

Wow, good news. Sometimes, we forget how much tedious work is put into things like this. It's definitely a time intersive process. |
