Today’s feature conversation is about a proposed downtown Warren concept, that would transform land next to Warren’s city hall into a hotel, 500 apartments, dining and restaurants.
To discuss it and the merits of the project from his perspective, David Gifford joins us. He’s a Warren resident and runs Transit Guide Detroit on Twitter.
Since I’m on the subject of downtown Warren, this is the original village of Warren & it’s newest park. Nothing is more relaxing than sitting next to an 8-lane 50 mph road. To me this area has much better bones than the municipal complex. Why not develop both? pic.twitter.com/jyEDgqUk6w David Gifford (@DE Gifford) July 15, 2021

(WXYZ) â Construction is already underway at Detroit s old State Fairgrounds, a portion of the 142-acre site to become an Amazon distribution site, promising more than 1,200 jobs and millions in tax revenue over the coming years.
For many city leaders including Mayor Duggan, it s a symbol of economic resurgence for District 2 and the City of Detroit; the city council voted 6-2 in October to approve the sale, which will also fund a new DDOT Transportation Center. There s a portion of the Amazon site drawing calls for a pause, the old bandshell. It once welcomed acts like Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald and later Alice Cooper and Three Dog Night.
