I'd much rather see it returned to Cadillac Square or Belle Isle as a market. Or even selling it/donating it to those developers that want to bring back Western Market. But at the same time I'm glad to see it saved at all and it will definitely be appreciated at Greenfield Village.

Speaking of Ford:

Wayne County Commission approves sale of two historic mills in Hines Park

Quote:
Private development will occupy two historic mills once operated by Henry Ford in Hines Park after a vote by the Wayne County Commission.

Commissioners voted, 11-3, during its meeting Tuesday to sell the Wilcox Mill, 230 Wilcox in Plymouth, and the Newburgh Mill, 37401 Hines Drive in Livonia. The sale of the mills — Wilcox to Tony Roko for the use of the Plymouth-based Art Foundation and the Newburgh Mill to developer Richard Cox — now move toward closing the sale of the properties so the property developers can build their projects.

The plans will allow work to commence on the mills, which have sat unused by the county for several decades since Ford closed the plants in the middle of the 20th century. Several commissioner said they were happy to see something happen with the mills, since nothing has been done for years.
