Local Officials Upset About Detroit Zoo’s Great Lakes Center for Nature Plans
/in Detroit, SE Michigan /by Tracy WillisClinton Township and Mount Clemens officials are frustrated with the Detroit Zoo and its Great Lakes Center for Nature plans. Four years ago, Detroit Zoo officials announced the facility would be located in Macomb County. However, the zoo is now considering a tract of undeveloped wetlands along Hall Road, adjacent to Macomb Community College’s Center Campus. The Clinton Township Treasurer questions the decision of building the nature center in one of the most heavily populated commercial areas of the county. Two years ago, Clinton Township and the city of Mount Clemens offered Shadyside Park on the banks of the Clinton River at no cost to the zoo, noting that the direct access to Lake St. Clair and its established trails would make it an ideal site. The Clinton Township Commissioner is concerned about the minimal benefits the county is receiving from the Zoo for the 0.1 levied on each taxpayer in the county.
