I certainly hope this pans out. Far too many historic buildings in Detroit have met their fate with the wrecking ball or plastic explosives. Certainly there are some buildings that are too far gone to be saved, or those with such limited use that it would cost an outrageous sum to convert them to other use [[i.e. Ford Auditorium), but if a historic building has a realistic chance of being given new life, I'm all for it.

AND it will create a lot of new jobs. Construction workers, electricians, IT folks, etc. will be needed to get the facility renovated and up and running. And then there will be plenty of permanent jobs once the renovation is complete and facility opened.
