Michigan Central Station once again needs new windows.

Less than three years after the Moroun family installed more than 1,000 of them at the vacant depot in Corktown (with some less-than-gentle nudging from the Duggan administration), Ford Motor Co. will rip out what a spokeswoman said yesterday were windows that "are not historically correct for our planned restoration."

That probably comes as no surprise to experts on things like this.

Read this Metro Times piece from August 2015, which goes into great detail about the windows' historical shortcomings. And here is John Gallagher's Detroit Free Press story from the day before.

The windows will cost about $3.3 million, according to a source familiar with the matter. There are about 1,100 windows to replace, at roughly $3,000 each.

Ford is planning a $740 million campus in the neighborhood west of downtown, with the train station as the focal point of the 1.2 million-square-foot project that is expected to bring 5,000 autonomous and electric vehicle technology workers to the area.

A spokesman for the Moroun family, which owned the train station until May when it was sold to Ford, declined comment Wednesday.

Ford is asking for local, state and federal tax incentives totaling about $250 million over 34 years. They include things like Neighborhood Enterprise Zone and Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act property tax abatements from the city.
