In
1999 the City of Detroit began demolition of the Packard
Plant. Several hundred thousand square feet of buildings on
the northwest side were demolished before the city was enjoined
from further destruction. A court of law found that the
current lease holders had not been properly informed by the
city of the tax default claim that the city was using to undertake
the demolition.
The
situation is being decided in court, but there seems that there
is little doubt that the entire complex will eventually be razed.
