Hemmings Daily: City of Detroit to take a stab at redeveloping former AMC headquarters

Plenty of moving parts have gone into the negotiations behind a massive land swap deal between Wayne County and the City of Detroit, but if everything works out, the city will soon take possession of the former American Motors headquarters on Plymouth Road with an eye toward redeveloping it. While some county officials once considered of razing the facility, a plan that developer Dan Gilbert floated last year would potentially save the property, give the region a new jail, and clean up an abandoned downtown const [View in Browser | Subscribe]( [Hemmings Daily] Tuesday, March 13, 2018 [City of Detroit to take a stab at redeveloping former AMC headquarters]( [City of Detroit to take a stab at redeveloping former AMC headquarters]( Posted by Daniel Strohl - Plenty of moving parts have gone into the negotiations behind a massive land swap deal between Wayne County and the City of Detroit, but if everything works out, the city will soon take possession of the former American Motors headquarters on Plymouth Road with an eye toward redeveloping it.
