The city has a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to pay for demolition of buildings on the site, but it's also hoping for state grant funding for other work.
"We're moving forward with the preliminary work to put in a request for a Natural Resources Trust Fund grant for the 721 N. Main property," Mayor John Hieftje said in a recent interview with AnnArbor.com.
"Now county parks has expressed a desire to participate in the matching money there because it's right across the street from making a connection to the Border-to-Border Trail."

They already have a plan. The idea is to get citizen input so they can ignore it.
