The former Eloise psychiatric hospital along Michigan Avenue has secured tax abatements by the City of Westland for a spooky redevelopment. Would you visit?

The first phase will see rehabilitation done to the Kay Beard Building and the launch of a haunted attraction, escape rooms and a new café in the former firehouse.

The second phase will consist of the creation of a ghost bar and restaurant, as well as space for events; and the third phase will see the creation of a hotel on the site. Total capital investment on the site will range between $12.8 million and $13.8 million.

Permanent jobs for the site are expected to be around 50-100 people, with additional temporary workers in the weeks leading up to Halloween each year with much of the workforce coming locally.

Hambrick [the developer who bought the site for $1] said they want to make the site a destination not just for those in Michigan but market it internationally to bring guests to the region.
