"Mel Stephens, Lear's senior vice president of communications and facilities, said Wednesday that Lear has no specific site in mind or a specific timetable. The company is working with the city, automakers and the union to evaluate what can work, he said.

"Anything within the city is a possible site," Stephens said.
Stephens said it's possible that a pilot program would first bring a smaller number of jobs to Detroit, with more added later.

Lear might be able to reopen a 100,000-square-foot plant it owns in the city. Or maybe there would be options to redevelop the I-94 Industrial Park near the junction of I-94 and I-75.
Mallett said the goal is to bring 5,000 jobs here — which, he said, ultimately could benefit 20,000 people if you figure a worker might be supporting three others in the household.
