Royal Oak says redevelop or perish to downtown building

The city of Royal Oak has set a dangerous building hearing on a structure on the north side of downtown to motivate the owner to get moving on renovations or demolish the structure.

The City Commission set the hearing for the building on 401 N. Main St. for June 18. In the mean time city officials are meeting with its owner to do something about the property. Building permits for its renovation have expired and city officials believe some of building materials have been out in the weather too much to do anything with it. 

The owner plans to build a two-story office building there, but city officials have called for the hearing in case those plans do not move forward. For information on the hearing, call (248) 246-3000.
