Good luck with this. Detroit has been 'revitalied' numerous times over decades. It's never worked. Interesting that they are going to 'house' their own employees. I can't help but wonder what are they charging for housing or is it included in their wages and what demographics make up those employees?
Ford invests millions in Detroit downtown revivalA historic Michigan landmark got a face lift thanks to Ford Motor Company after sitting vacant for over three decades.
Michigan Central Station, which became an "infamous symbol of Detroit," was bought by Ford in 2018. Over the past six years, 3,100 skilled-trades people worked 1.7 million hours to completely restore the station, so it could house the automaker's autonomous vehicle team as well as shops and restaurants that will be open to the public.
The abandoned train station, which opened Thursday for the first time in 34 years, is now the centerpiece of Michigan Central, which is described as a 30-acre technology and cultural hub in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood.
Ford is not just planning to house its own employees. It is expecting the newly revived area to also draw in companies, entrepreneurs and students to "create new products, services, and technologies that add value to a new generation of Ford customers and help build a better world," according to Ford, whose headquarters are in Dearborn, Michigan.
