DETROIT – Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) has proposed a seven-story parking garage for its location in Detroit -- which is raising some concerns for residents in the area.
HFHS in Detroit currently has a parking lot with about 300 spots for its employees and patients.
While the current parking lot may not be big enough, the significantly-larger proposed parking garage may pose some issues for its Detroit neighbors.
HFHS’s proposed parking garage would accommodate approximately 2,000 vehicles -- a solution to a parking problem that was addressed in a community outreach meeting.
Residents said that a parking garage is needed, but the proposed plan could decrease their property values and increase their taxes.
