Did the city ever declare this as a historical part of Detroit?? No, the city is still working out their post-bankruptcy plan. They were prepared to sell off items from the Art Museum and the Historical Museum to pay off debts. That did NOT happen, but is shows you how much they care about history - zilch.
Should the Packard club been involved?? Excuse me if I sound a little "snippy" here. Concerned Packard people from the local region of Motor City Packards and the Packard Motor Car Foundation have been all over this for the last 20+ years. Do you think we are oblivious as to what is going on in our city? It may be too late for the PMCC Plant, but if you really are interested is saving a Packard property, then contact me and we'll find a spot for you on our Volunteer List at the PPG. Or, if you cannot make the daily commute, then send us a check to support those that are working there for the cause.
Now to update you guys on the bridge collapse. East Grand Boulevard has been cleaned up and open to what little traffic there now is there.
Meanwhile, in Saturday's Detroit Free Press they reported that Arte Express is 3 years behind in their real estate taxes and subject to a tax foreclosure sale.https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2019/01/26/packard-plant-detroit-taxes/2686758002/
Article is not clear if they are also behind in paying City of Detroit taxes.

I cant believe it, I was just there 2017 but did not have my Packard with me at the time. I was going to be there this summer with my Packard and get a pic next to the bridge. Did the city ever declare this as a historical part of Detroit?? how can this happened? Should the Packard club been involved?? All I know now is it's gone and I missed out. At least I got to see it
