Once abandoned Michigan Central Station in Detroit to reopen after Ford spearheads historic building's restoration

For 75 years, Michigan Central was the majestic train station where many visitors first arrived in Detroit. However, the station closed in 1988 and fell into disrepair. In 2018, Ford acquired the property  with plans to restore it. 

Now, that vision is a reality.

The station will officially reopen on Thursday as the centerpiece of Ford's 30-acre tech campus known as "Michigan Central," located in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood.
