Ann Arbor authorities have responded favorably to a proposal by DTE Energy to develop riverfront property that could include a new Amtrak station.
DTE is seeking to develop property it owns along the Huron River by creating a mixed used development.
The site is near the current Amtrak station. The city has been studying where to put a new Amtrak station.
Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor said he welcomes DTE Energy’s proposed development and that it might include a new Amtrak station along Depot Street.
City Council Member Jane Lumm also welcomed the possibilities for cleanup and redevelopment of the 14-acre riverfront property, located at 841 Broadway St.
DTE said it is working with a private developer and architect to create plans for a riverfront restaurant, hotel, office space and green space that would be open to the public.
Ann Arbor is served by Amtrak’s Chicago-Detroit (Pontiac) Wolverine Service trains.
