Member and Director of Economic and
Community Development for the City of Dearborn Barry Murray gave us a few
updates on a number of projects going on around town. Barry gave a large update
on new train station project that will connect to the Henry Ford. The project
itself has been in the workings for over 10 years and is being funded by a
28million dollar grant. The 16,000 square foot station will allow the corridor
to be more passenger train focused and eliminate past travel delays due to
passing freight trains. The station also holds promise of being a future hub
point by providing alternative transportation between Ann Arbor, Dearborn and
Detroit. A new student housing project is in the works over at the University
Of Michigan Dearborn, the facility will provide the opportunity for 500 new
students to live on campus. Last but not least the Dearborn City Hall will be
moving to a new location at the old ADP building located at 16901 Michigan Avenue
near the Police Department. The new location will provide for better
organization of city offices and streamline customer service. The old City Hall
location has been purchased by the the Minnesota based company Artspace
Projects Inc. and provide a number of live-in workspace studios for aspiring
artists.
