In 2013, the Ilitches pitched the idea of the 59 block “District Detroit” in exchange for half a billion in public subsidies for Little Caesar’s Arena, most of it from diverting funds from DPS.



While the surrounding “District Detroit” did not materialize, the public will be paying for the Ilitches arena until 2051.



Today, the Ilitches are seeking $800M in additional public funding to complete the development of their vacant properties that tax payers have already paid nearly a billion to develop.



Contact city council now to stop any more subsidies to the Ilitches.
