There was a news story recently about how few flights now use this airport. Mayor Young tried to modernize that airport in 1989 but that would have required extending land strips into
Gethsemane Cemetery. There was opposition and that never happened.
Kettering High School has been converted into an auto parts manufacturing center. The same thing happened at Southwestern High School. The first firm there gave up the property but Mr. Gilbert bought the campus and, I think, another parts firm will open there soon. And one of the
former Cadillac plants on Conner is being revitalized into
a building for warehousing and light manufacturing.
Does this suggest that, in the Detroit area, there is a need
for manufacturing space for the firms that will produce
component parts for the new EV vehicles?
Has any thought been given to converting Coleman Young
airport into a location for manufacturing?
