Wayne County is taking steps to make the soccer stadium happen at the fail-jail site.

A Wayne County Commission committee voted to move forward to a Thursday full commission vote on a proposal for the Wayne County Land Bank to acquire a foreclosed lot at 5430 Riopelle, which is adjacent to the county's juvenile and family court buildings, near a new jail complex site proposed by Rock Ventures.

Cheryl V. Jordan, the Land Bank's executive director, said the plan is to convert the space into a county-owned parking lot for use with the justice complex, should the new jail development be approved.
I find it weird the Moroun's want to do something down in Trenton given that they basically have the Port Authority by the balls, and most of their existing warehouse infrastructure is in Detroit. Maybe they are essentially showing that the Gordie Howe is going to get done with this move; maybe they'll relocate their logistrics operations further downriver, which would give Detroit some room to breath. Who knows with them?
