I agree, from the time that CAY has proposed casinos on Belle Isle there has been lots of proposals that went no where. DN is responding to your original thread that mentioned tax base. I am sure that this is being proposed for public land to evade paying property taxes.

That being said, if Essex County, being across the river, has the right climate for a successful wine industry so should most of Detroit. Why not grow this in industry in areas that need development and not in a public park?
