FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND FORD LAND INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF DEARBORN
12/21/2016
"Ford Motor Co. plans to redevelop three blocks in downtown Dearborn to include new office space, retail and a park, according to documents presented to the Michigan Strategic Fund. The project, one part of a massive 10-year plan for Ford, will cost roughly $60 million to complete. (Photo: Michigan Strategic Fund)
Ford plans to demolish most existing structures at the site, but the Wagner Hotel facade on the corner of Monroe and Michigan will front a new three-story mixed-use building with first-floor commercial space and office space for the automaker on the second and third floors.
A second mixed-use building is expected to have a similar configuration. A four-story parking garage would be constructed on what is now a surface parking lot.
To boost the city’s walkability, new buildings along Michigan Avenue will be set back from the Wagner Hotel building so the sidewalks can be widened."
-- The rest of the story can be found at The Detroit News.
This will have a great positive impact for non-motorized transportation in Dearborn as well. Not only is the City of Dearborn investing in Bike Share, but Ford Motor Company is as well within it's main research campus that is also going through enormous reovations as well and will tie in to the office space being created in the west downtown area.

Ford Smart Mobility City Partners Remarks from Mark Fields
Bikes are another important mode of transportation for commuters in the Bay Area. Ford and Motivate, the global leader in bike share, are working with city officials to add new stations and increase the number of bikes to 7,000 in the Bay Area by the end of 2018. When it launches next year, Ford GoBike will be accessed by users through the FordPass® platform.
“A transportation revolution is coming to the Bay Area,” said Jay Walder, CEO of Motivate. “This unique partnership with Ford shows that bike share is no longer alternative transportation; it is central to creating smart, on-demand mobility that represents our values for equity and sustainability. Thanks to the partnership of Metropolitan Transportation Commission, San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville, bike share will soon be available for all in the Bay Area.
