So who's bankrolling this event in light of the bankruptcy issues?

[MSUguy]

What does the bankruptcy have to do with the lighting? The park has been run by a non profit since it was created.

So who's bankrolling this event in light of the bankruptcy issues?

even if it was the city [[which it's not as MSUguy said).. it would actually be a good investment. You know how many people in recent years have come down just to dinner then skate, etc.? I see pictures uploaded by multiple people EVERYDAY on social media from the time it's open until after it shuts down. And these are not detroiters, they're suburb dwellers who otherwise don't make a trip downtown unless it's a sports game
