Bills would give Huntington Place new funding, flexibility as it seeks to lure hotel on JLA site

New bills quickly advancing in the Legislature would authorize the authority that oversees Detroit's convention center to enter into public-private arrangements, increase its funding, and expand the facility's definition to include nearby roads.The bills would also extend a $5 million annual subsidy for the QLine streetcar for an additional 17 years.
The Republican-led Senate approved the measures 24-12 and 27-10 on Tuesday after discharging them from a committee, which held no hearing since their introduction about three weeks ago. The Republican-controlled House could vote on the legislation next week before adjourning for the year.
The impetus is "allowing Huntington Place to have a little more money, a little more flexibility," said the sponsor, Republican Sen. Wayne Schmidt of Traverse City.
