Very good article with some 'new' news [[or things I didn't or at least wouldn't be expected to know):

1). the heavy equipment needs to be on site before the thaw begins per law. [[didn't know that).

2). "Rezoning isn't required to begin the major earth-moving, such as excavation and site prep work. " So while local government leaders, Ilitches, preservationists, etc. debate the workers will be busy at work. Time won't be lost.

Never knew that either. The warmer weather probably helped with getting this project started on time. If it was still below freezing who knows how long they would've had to wait for the snow to melt.
