There is a very large area of mostly vacant land on the East side from Harper to at least French Road between Van Dyke and the airport. Both sides of Van Dyke. It seems that this would be a prime area to prep for new industrial expansion.

What makes you think all of that land is vacant?
^ they wrote mostly,you thought they wrote all?
The city has maps of future land use and what sections are designated industrial,the section that they have already cut out for industrial/heavy industrial is over by the Packard plant.
They set up zones that would be really hard to change at this point because they are trying to separate or buffer the residential from the industrial.
Detroit was built mixing factories with residential but recent events show that neighborhoods do not want them around.
Just like the one that bought the loft in the refurbished industrial building then complained about industrial activity going on around them.
If there are long established solid neighborhoods at this point I would not look to be expecting anything new industrial being close to them.
The current example is an expansion verses ground up.
That is why when one is looking to buy property it is usually best to look at the future land development maps.
Zoning map

Master plan
https://detroitmi.gov/Portals/0/docs...lan%20Text.pdf
Between the two you can tell what is going where.
More importantly what is not.
So if somebody says,I am putting residential in this industrial building or a club in this building,you can check the map and look at the designated zoning and know if it is going to be allowed or not.
Lots of red tape,time and money to change zones,even more so because this is the newer plan.
