SNESNESCUBE64 | 554 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) I guess the city council of Farmington Hills is voting to demolish Marvin's 3M for a Mejier grocery store. To me this is a rediculous move for the city and we would be losing a wonderful place. I really wish I knew about the hearing, I would have went yesterday being that I work very close to Farmington Hills.

Tabonga | 2,348 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 No doubt they are looking at in increase in tax revenue. Sorry way to look at things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,186 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Does the city own the museum? If not, then what right do they have to do this? Something isn’t adding up to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something isn’t adding up to me. They are likely (mis)using eminent domain laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically do everything possible to do the right thing to make sure no extra expense is occurred from being forced to move. Not to say that I agree with eminent domain use for private business to get what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I remember seeing this place on Modern Marvels on the History channel way back in the early/mid 2000’s. It looked amazing and I always wanted to go there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
