"Obviously seeing improvements to the central depot to make it look more aesthetically pleasing is something we would certainly support. But they haven't pulled any permits as of yet. We await their next move."

Cha-Ching!

But while they accept the IBC money for the permitted repairs done to the central depot, the city of Detroit will likely forget to offer any support to the company that may well be a key component to its restoration in the future. This project demonstrates a willingness to look beyond what the motor city has become.  To see further than the perpetual blight city leaders have brought for too many decades.

Perhaps there is hope for Detroit, though it will likely not arrive through government, but in spite of it.

The long range goals of Moroun and the IBC might well be seen through this small start of repair to a facility not used in over two decades.

Seeking profit, this company is willing to bring employment, and restore value to the city.  Rather than allow the wealth of our forefathers to crumble, the restoration shows signs of optimism by a developer and entrepreneur. Optimism and a vision of something that seems too far away for most who look at Detroit with proper skepticism.
