Detroit Dry Dock/Globe Building gets $12.8M

[Richard]

The state had already disclosed it becoming a state park about a year ago,there is a discussion about it here somewhere.

There is so much contamination there that if you touch the soil and lick your finger your lifespan will be greatly diminished,which questions how many millions on clean up is going to take place over and above and how it is going to be made safe.

Something else about a couple of 20,000 gallon underground tanks that seem to have been displaced somewhere.

Of course being the state they can allocate brownfield and come up with funding no questions asked,convenient.

In 2011 it was Globe Building Adventure and Discovery Center Acquisition [[Wayne County) – $9 million.This funding would be used by the DNRE to acquire 48,000 square feet of built-out space in the Globe Building for the William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor Adventure and Discovery
Center in downtown Detroit.

Now it is bumped up to $12.8 million ,it is nice I guess that the state is willing to pay those kinds of monies for a property,good for comps not so much for the taxpayers though. How much is that per sqft?
