Is there a concise summary of how the capital costs of the Q line were paid? The original plan was for a line all the way to
8 mile road. That was later cut to the current 3.3 mile system.

I have read estimates of the capital costs of the present system were between $130 million and $142 million. How were they
paid? The Kresge Foundation apparently put up $35 million
and the state put up $10 million. The US DOT was prepared to put up substantial funds for the complete line to 8 mile but pulled out of that arrangement and may have put up between
$12 million and $37 million for the current system. Rock Financial purchased naming rights but I do not know the amount. The Illitch interests apparently put up some funds and got a stop at the new arena as well as a stop at Comerica Park.
The Penske organization apparently also funded the project and the modern new, attractive car barn is named for Mr. Penske.

A concise listing of how the capital costs were paid would be helpful.

The state recently appropriated $85 million to support operating costs for 17 years.

Thank you.
