Michigan:Black Town To Turn Into A Golf Course

[AGDee]

Granholm appointed the emergency manager but Snyder's new law has given that manager full power over everything so he has fired the mayor, city council, etc. I posted a link about this in another thread somewhere (the Wisconsin one?). It is my understanding that the emergency manager is planning to disincorporate the city and sell the land to the developers who want to make the golf course. Nobody seems to know what happens to the people who live there.

Where did you hear this? I've been scouring the web looking for news on what is really going on but I've yet to see anything about the city getting shut down or people being told to move. From what I've read online the golf course already exists and Whirlpool is trying to take 30 acres of the 90 acre Jean Klock Park to build housing that connects to the existing gold course.
