A transformation of Capitol Park, a historic neighborhood located on the near west side of Woodward in downtown, could begin by 2011's end.
The City of Detroit is asking for "high-quality, transformative" proposals to renovate three vacant commercial buildings along Griswold. RFP information is available on the DEGC website; proposals are due Oct. 14.
Excerpt:
The city has already remade the streetscape of the small wedge-shaped public park at the center of Capitol Park, so named because it was the site of Michigan's first state capitol building. That work included the relocation of the burial site and monument to Michigan's first governor, Stevens T. Mason, from one portion of the park to another.
