City council approves redevelopment plans for former Uniroyal location

Detroit plans to transform the old Uniroyal site into a multi-sports complex featuring a WNBA facility and a youth academy, with strong community support and backing from former sports figures like Rick Mahorn and Deanna Nolan. The project includes a resolution to activate the riverfront with youth boating and rowing opportunities, aligning with broader community investments to enhance Detroit's WNBA presence.
