Bond sale for court project is approved
Schools seek public input for future planning
Brownfield district OK’d for former city hall site
Members of the Romulus
City Council have taken the
first step toward the renovation
and expansion of the 34th
District Court.
At their regular meeting last
month, members of the council
unanimously approved the sale
of up to $11million in bonds for
the project, which will be
repaid by the court. The capital
improvement bonds will be
used to add and upgrade court-
rooms, reconfigure the traffic
flow at the facility and improve
themunicipal parking lot in the
complex which also houses the
Romulus City Hall and
Romulus Library. Romulus
owns the court building and the
other buildings on the property.
The 34th District Court
serves the cities of Belleville
and Romulus and the town-
ships of Van Buren, Sumpter
and Huron, including 13 police
departments including Metro
Airport, Metroparks, Wayne
County Sheriff, Michigan State
Police and the Department of
Natural Resources. The pro-
posed renovations will add
about 15,000 square feet to the
court complex which has not
been upgraded, according to
officials, since the early 1990s.
Court
Administrator/
Magistrate Al Hindman
explained the plans in detail to
members of the Romulus coun-
cil during a study session prior
to the Nov. 23 meeting. He told
the council members that the
Romulus court handles twice
as many cases in half as much
space as other district courts in
the area. He said the project
has been in the planning stages
formore than eight years.
Plans include the addition of
a courtroom and a new hallway
which will provide better
access to the two new and one
refurbished courtrooms. The
current hall will be used for
interoffice traffic. A new entry-
way is planned at the front of
the building including provi-
sions for those going to the pro-
bation or cashier's office in a
separate traffic pattern from
those heading to the court-
rooms.
The Romulus City Clerk will
now publish a notification of
the intent to sell the bonds. If
taxpayers do not petition for a
referendum vote on the matter
within 45 days, the council can
proceed with the bond sale
after bid prices on the project
are received.
Finalization of the bond sale
is expected to take place in late
summer or early fall of 2016.
Wayne Westland school
administrators are developing a
strategic plan to guide the direc-
tion of the district through the
next 5 to 10 years.
That plan will include some
big dreams, according to a state-
ment from the district, and
school officials are hoping to
enlist the aid of local residents
in shaping those dreams for the
future of students in the district.
The strategic plan will be the
"stimulus for continued innova-
tion and excellence in our dis-
trict, both now and into the
future." The plan will be a guide
to success and a chance for stu-
dents, staff, parents, city officials
and community members to
share their dreams for the
future of the district, officials
said.

Members of theWestlandCity
Council approved a Brownfield
Development plan for the Ford
Road site of the former city hall
during theDec. 7meeting.
The plan is an effort to pro-
mote the economic develop-
ment and redevelopment of the
site for the overall benefit of the
community and spur additional
redevelopment along the Ford
Road corridor, according to a
prepared statement from the
office of MayorWilliamWild. He
said the plan provides for the
redevelopment of the eligible
property andmakes the redevel-
opment eligible for reimburse-
ment of certain eligible activity
costs through tax increment
financing.
The project is comprised of
approximately 45 acres of land
and the Brownfield plan
includes four vacant buildings,
all located on Ford Road. Along
with the former city hall build-
ing, the plan includes the Bailey
Recreation Center, a former fire
station and the recently pur-
chased Michigan Motor
Exchange. The redevelopment
may include environmental
investigation and remediation,
the abatement and demolition
of existing buildings, mass site
preparation activities and the
construction associated infra-
structure improvements to
accommodate the redevelop-
ment, according toWild's office.
This property has been iden-
tified as an ideal location for
mixed-use development with
potential residential, retail,
medical/educational, office and
institutional/civic uses, the state-
ment continued. The project
also may include additional
recreational and entertainment
venues as well as complementa-
ry public space.
Under
the
approved
Brownfield plan, the Westland
Downtown
Development
Authority will be eligible for
reimbursement of costs
incurred to demolish the struc-
tures on Ford Road when the
land is redeveloped. Those
reimbursable estimated costs
are projected at $75,000 for
abatement of asbestos and haz-
ardous materials; $350,000 for
the demolition of the structures;
$25,000 for administrative
expenses and another $50,000
for plan preparation and due
care activities and contingen-
cies.
