LANSING, MI – State lawmakers say the old Michigan Central Depot in Detroit could bring federal stimulus money into the state if it s renovated. The state Senate held a hearing Monday to discuss the future of the building and of the state as a hub for international trade.
The dilapidated building sits on ten acres of land in a wide open expanse of Southwest Detroit. Most of the windows in the 500 thousand square foot building have been broken out and barbed fencing surrounds the vacant station.
Carmine Palombo is with Southeast Michigan Council of Governments. He recently toured the building with state lawmakers.

Ford Motor Co. s battery-electric version of its best-selling F-150 pickup truck is coming and now it has a name.
The Blue Oval revealed Monday that the truck will be dubbed F-150 Lightning. The vehicle itself will be unveiled May 19 via a livestreamed event from Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn.
F-150 Lightning is part of Ford s initial portfolio of electric vehicles that includes the Mustang Mach-E, which launched at the end of last year, and the forthcoming electric version of the Transit van. The automaker recently has accelerated its transition to electrified vehicles, including with the announcement in February that it would increase its investment in EV development to $22 billion through 2025 and the news that Ford plans to build a $185 million global battery development center somewhere in southeast Michigan.
