Andreas Apostolopoulos Tries Again to Demolish the State Savings Bank

Andreas Apostolopoulos of Triple Properties has applied to the Historic District Commission for permission to demolish the State Savings Bank on Fort Streetin order to build a parking garage.

This is the same Triple Properties that let the Pontiac Silverdome's roof collapse this past winter and has let the stadium rot ever since. This is also the same Triple Properties that also wants to buy the Wayne County jail site from the county in order to build a mixed-use development. That development would include a 25,000 seat soccer stadium because MLS does not want a team in Pontiac.

A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday August 14, 2013
