Just a general musing, but if this were to happen [[consolidate the courts, new jail), where are some good locations be? My first thought is at a re-used facility/abandoned property such as MCS. This seems like an ideal location especially if a significant amount of office space is needed. Moreover, the old book depository could be incorporated in to this plan.
It’s a shame many similar plans such as a new Detroit Police station or additional space for the FBI [[though I think I read they recently moved to One Detroit Center) could not be consolidated in to a large justice complex around MCS.
