DETROIT-A $3.9-million welcome center near Detroit’s Ambassador Bridge is one of three projects around the state being financed with brownfield tax credits. The other projects are in Cadillac and Holland.

In Detroit, Plaza del Norte, LLC will use a $391,127 credit to transform blighted, tax-reverted property located on Bagley Avenue near 20th Street in southwest Detroit. Less than 500 feet from the Ambassador Bridge, the redevelopment will house the State of Michigan International Welcome Center and a small business incubator. The project is expected to create more than $3.9 million in private investment and 63 new jobs. The Ambassador Bridge connects Detroit and Windsor, ON.

“The value gained by redeveloping brownfield sites cannot be overstated,” says Jennifer Granholm. “Turning around blighted properties that were once thought too costly to redevelop will bring the economic development and jobs we need in Michigan.”
