County Airport.
:: detroit
metropolitan airport » ::
Although portions of the community are still rural, it is under
intense development pressure influenced by the presence of the airport,
which is undergoing major expansion, combined with excellent access
to freeways, major roads, and railroad facilities.
Several major mixed-use developments such as Metro World Centre
and Metro Airport Center, including corporate offices, R&D, retail
and residential uses are being developed in close proximity to the
airport. A new I-94 interchange at Vining Road will provide superb
access to the Metro Center area.
Existing residential development is in the form of small tract development
and scattered single family residences. A large hotel/commercial
area has developed north of Interstate 94 along Merriman Road which
is adjacent to the Metro Center development area.
Most of the balance of commercial development is of the local type.
Industrial development is clustered around the airport along Middlebelt,
Merriman, and Goddard Roads. Interstate 275 has influenced industrial
development south and west of the airport.
