Book-Cadillac Completion Pushed Back

DETROIT-A change in developers means renovation of an historic hotel won't meet the Super Bowl deadline the city had set. "We're hoping to have a major portion of the hotel built--not all of it--by the Super Bowl in 2006," says George Jackson, president and chief executive of the quasi-public Detroit Economic Growth Corp.

DETROIT-The redevelopment of the Book-Cadillac Hotel likely will not be completed by the time the Motor City hosts the 2006 Super Bowl. George Jackson, president and chief executive of the quasi-public Detroit Economic Growth Corp., tells reporters the target is unlikely to be met.

Jackson spoke after a fire broke out at the construction site Thursday. The fire damage was confined to building material and did not damage the structure of the building, Jackson says. No one was hurt in the blaze.
