First Parcel of Detroit House of Corrections in Plymouth Township Sold, Will be Developed into a Technology Business Park

The first parcel, an eight-acre plot, of the former Detroit House of Corrections in Plymouth Township has been sold, according to the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority.

“The sale of this property is yet another step forward in ensuring this once dilapidated property is put back into productive use for the Plymouth community,” says Josh Burgett, director of Michigan Land Bank. “DeHoCo has been an eyesore in the area for years, and with demolition work wrapped up, we’re excited to see the addition of a new development project that will bring a wealth of revenue and jobs to the area.”

The Michigan Land Bank acquired the former correctional facility, known as DeHoCo, in 2015 and has been working with local leaders through the demolition and purchasing process.
