Ford Motor Co. intends to keep its promise to rebuild the iconic Michigan Central Station despite the pandemic that has led to billions in losses over the past six months, the Free Press has confirmed.
The iconic building in the heart of Corktown that came to represent despair, so-called “ruin porn” and the disintegration of Detroit still remains a “priority” for Ford two years after the company celebrated its purchase of the train station along Michigan Avenue, 7 miles down the street from its world headquarters in Dearborn.
“We were excited to get back to work on Michigan Central Station in early May after a seven-week pause due to the stay-at-home order,” said Christina Twelftree, Ford spokeswoman for the Corktown project.
