Larson said support from mayors, planning directors and other officials is key to long-term revitalization efforts.

He credited Detroit’s mayor for negotiating with the prominent owner — the Moroun Family — of the Michigan Central Station in Corktown to replace the windows at the long-shuttered train station and to give it a sense of purpose and future.

“The new windows caught the attention of Bill Ford.

The Ford family had come from Cork in Ireland, so that area means a lot to them,” Larson said.
