The Detroit Wayne County Port Authority has broken ground on its dock
and terminal building that will be situated between Hart Plaza and the
Renaissance Center on the Detroit RiverWalk.
Excerpt:
The two-story 21,000-square-foot facility will hold a tourist
processing area, ticket counters, restrooms, the port authority's
office and a public plaza with space for educational interpretive
exhibits on topics such as alternative energy and homeland security.

main purpose for the enterprise is the ability for Detroit to host a
variety of vessels that currently have no place to dock on the U.S.
side of the river, including Great Lakes cruise ships and water taxis.
The second phase of the project will include a docking wharf for this
purpose.
