"A $265,000 grant from Kresge to the National Park Foundation will fund the spring hire of a consultant to work with city officials in developing by the end of 2017 a comprehensive strategic plan for the fort, including a timeline for implementation."

It has been sad to watch this large tract of history and greenspace deteriorate when it could be used to spur residency and positive redevelopment of a very needy district.

There are a number of quality buildings and historic homes wasting away that could form a unique residential core. Of course there has to be care taken to not disturb the historical aspects.

I know there have been past plans and talk but nothing ever came from them. Hopefully this time different.
