What was once a line of vacant, blighted properties in Redford Township is about to become home to a new $3.1 million medical care facility for Botsford Hospital this fall.
The Redford Township Medical Building is expected to be finished and occupied by November, helping revitalize Redford's downtown district at Beech Daly and 5 Mile roads.
"It's a nice project," says Michael Dennis, community development director for Redford Township. "It's going to be a welcome addition to Redford."
The hospital building replaces an old gas station and the former home of the Redford Jaycees, which was at one time an old church, on the east side of Beech Daly. That intersection has seen an infusion of investment in recent years, helping to bring back its former urban center status.
The 12,000-sqaure-foot medical facility, made possible by a $167,000 Single Business Tax credit from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, will offer pulmonary physical therapy and family practice clinics.
The single-story structure is expected to create about 30 jobs.
