Residents May be Harmed by Fairground Racetrack

FERNDALE, MI - Study by quasi-governmental firm claims new development at State Fairgrounds would be noisy, problematic.

FERNDALE, MI – The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments has released a study that details how a proposed racetrack and amphitheater along Eight Mile Road and Woodward in Ferndale will adversely affect neighbors.

The project is in the heart of the Michigan State Fairgrounds, which is bordered by both Ferndale to the north and Detroit on the south. The residents who live around the fairgrounds live in poverty.
