However, some residents
warned lbat a Comerica office
building replacing Ford
Auditorium on the riverfront,
would actually hurt local busi
ness, because it would ruin the
appearance of the area and
drive tourists away.
James F. Boettcher, who
chairs the Construction As
sociation of Michigan, stated
Comerica did not have to
build near the water. but could
take land 2-4 blocks away in
"the cornerstone of the finan
cial project."
Edward Haroutunian of the
Northwest Civic Federation
said that if the city had to seJl
Ford Auditoruim and u e the
land for b i purpose tit
should h ve set up competa
tive bidding in order to get the
best deal and ask for legal
commitment concerning
jobs.
. One resident, Carolyn
Peiser, noted he once lived in
the Saint Joe' area, a hi toric
community destroyed in a
similar land deal set up to
build the G.M. Poletown
Plant.
"There were job lost, not
gained," he said.
