Industrial Project Renaissance Zone would provide the space needed for a large plant. We will owe Governor Snyder a tip of the hat if 777xs are assembled in Detroit or Michigan. There are rumors that Boeing will pick a site in Alabama, California, South Carolina, Texas or Utah. If Michigan is high on their list, I
can understand why local officials would keep quiet.
My spies tell me that historic Wiilow Run site is available if those don't work.
