In April, DEGC spokesman Bob Rossbach said more details on plans for a possible new arena and entertainment district would come when the DDA is ready to take action on it,

The project was first revealed near the end of last year when Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch's Ilitch Holdings said that that the development hinged on passage of state legislation that allows for use of DDA funds. That legislation passed in December, indicating plans could move forward.

The state legislation allows Detroit's DDA to collect about $12 million a year for the project.

The DEGC staffs Detroit's DDA, which focuses on development in the city's core.
