Information on New Center area[edit]

I moved the following text from the article. It could be incorporated into the article on New Center, Detroit but seemed to be off-topic here. Zariane (talk) 18:21, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New Center is home to many thriving businesses large and small. The beautiful Fisher Building, as well as Cadillac Place and the Argonaut Building are a few of the late architect Albert Kahn's masterpieces that call New Center home. Henry Ford Hospital anchors this neighborhood with its massive award winning complex. The State of Michigan is another major employer and the anchor tenant of Cadillac Place, the former headquarters of General Motors. New Center Council, the non-profit organization that worked for many years making New Center an attractive destination to work, live and play, has now merged with the University Cultural Center Association to form Midtown Detroit Inc. Under the leadership of Susan Mosey, Midtown Detroit Inc. is already making a noticeable and positive impact on life and business in New Center.

Virginia Park residents can enjoy the free programming at nearby New Center Park on many a Summer afternoon and evening. Neighbors get together at this new venue to hear live music performed on stage while enjoying food and drink from the parks food court and bar. Movie night is another popular attraction at New Center Park, with families walking or biking from Virginia Park Street, the brownstones lining Seward Street and historic New Center Commons.

Midtown Detroit Inc. is currently working with developers and residents to preserve the historic and architecturally significant buildings of New Center and further strengthening the quality of life here. Midtown Detroit Inc. is currently working with the non-profit Parks of New Center organization on funding major improvements and the ongoing maintenance of area green spaces.
