Packard plant plans?

**omega** · August-04-14, 11:15 PM

Has anyone heard who might be moving to the Packard plant and who thinks the new owner will deliver?

I hear it is going to become a Cheesecake Factory, a House of Blues, an Ikea, a Super Walmart, and a bus garage!

I heard that the Disney company is going to build a theme park in the Packard plant. It will be the Disneyland of the north.

I heard if you include a question mark at the end of your thread title or, better yet, ask the full question in the title; people will not click to see or read what appears to be new information on the "Packard Plant plans".

I visited the Packard plant several times recently. Most importantly, there is often a
security guard in a vehicle near the property. There is also an attractive sign showing
some Packards.

I heard it's going to become a career training center. Detroit youth can learn how to rob photographers @ gunpoint and make a living.

Well at least they have a sign! So restoration has to be just around the corner.

... and it's guarded. Must be a lonely job.

Good one!

So has the new owner reached out to Dan Gilbert yet? Assuming the new owner really plans to follow through on his plans, something needs to happen within a year to at least show that he's serious.

The problem with the Packard Plant is that it's in the straight ghetto. Who would invest in redeveloping that place with the low probability of anything succeeding long term?

He should install one new window every 6-12 months to show the progress he's making.

I can remember a huge sign for the Monroe Street bicentennial project. Maybe it will be as successful at that one was! http://www.detroityes.com/mb/showthr...6-Monroe-Block
