--500 jobs to Detroit, including 350 new hires--

"Coyote Logistics, a UPS company and leading global third-party logistics provider, is set to expand its Chicago-based operations with the creation of a new Tech Hub in Detroit's vibrant Corktown neighborhood in Q3 of 2019. Coyote will be the anchor tenant in The Assembly, a Bedrock-owned building that transforms a former warehouse into a five-story, multi-use development. Once complete, Coyote is expected to employ 500 team members, with 350 of those being new positions."

I think this is just the start for this part of town. I think Gilbert is going to gobble up more property the closer the West Riverfront Park gets to becoming a reality.

With all this tech flowing into Corktown we should give it a nickname.

Silicork-alley?

I like the moniker above

"Coyote is another excellent addition to the burgeoning Detroit tech community, which already is home to innovative local and national brands including Microsoft, LinkedIn, Twitter, WeWork, Snapchat, Amazon, StockX, Google, Autobooks and more," said Bill Emerson, CEO of Bedrock. "Coyote's decision to choose Detroit for their tech hub will result in 500 new economy jobs in Corktown, 350 of them being new hires, once again helping to continue the momentum of economic growth in the Motor City."

One of the big customers of Coyote Logistics is Home Depot.
