Detroit-Canada Bridge Could Link City To Profits
Although some community members oppose the laborious and expensive physical construction process, many realize that the economic development benefits will be important.
"In March, after a year spent evaluating 15 site proposals, the Bi-National Partnership, composed of U.S. and Canadian government officials, recommended anchoring the American side of a second bridge between Detroit and Windsor in Delray.
You'd think Nagy and other community leaders would be dead set against funneling thousands of semis spewing diesel fumes through their neighborhood every day. But the promise of development dollars has helped win them over.
Also motivating them is the prospect that if they don't support the plan proposed by bureaucrats, they may be left to deal with transportation baron Manuel 'Matty' Moroun and his Detroit International Bridge Company, owner of the Ambassador Bridge."
