At its meeting, the Wayne County Committee on Economic Development moved to receive and file four forwarding notices from Detroit-area entities and to accept August and September 2025 operating reports for the Guardian Building and the 1st Street Parking Deck.
What happened: The forwarding notices included public hearing schedules from the Detroit City Council and the Detroit Region Aerotropolis Development Corporation covering requests for obsolete property rehabilitation and industrial/commercial facilities exemption certificates for several named applicants. Committee members moved to receive those items for filing and approved the motion by voice vote.
In the operating reports discussion, Evan Carreanu, identified in the transcript as director of economic development, told the committee the reports were being received as filed and offered to answer questions. Committee members asked one follow-up about a previously discussed downtown tenant request (a proposed cigar bar), and staff said that request is currently on hold.
Outcome and next steps: Both the forwarding notices and the operating reports were received and filed by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The committee then moved on to other business and adjourned.
