Farbman says it is spending $3 million to renovate the factory into a large industrial complex with more than 80 truck bays. "We're working with light manufacturers, warehouse-users and food distributors to fill the space and continue to add jobs to the region's economy," says Andrew Farbman, president of the Farbman Group. "The plant has been well-maintained and offers tremendous power, overhead cranes and access to rail lines."
The plant, to be renamed McGraw Industrial Center, is located at Ford and Wyoming, near Ford's Rouge Center.

It was converted to a glass production site in 1960 before closing last year. The plant closed last year.
