Ford unveils restored Book Depository building in Michigan Central hub.

The newly restored Book Depository building in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood has reopened as a hub for start-up technologies and innovative companies interested in expanding mobility in Detroit and around the country. Newlab, a Brooklyn-based company, will take over the space, which will be home to hundreds of millions of dollars in investment and dozens of prospective companies looking to study anything from vehicle automation and drone management to local air pollution monitoring. The Book Depository's reopening is one of the final phases before the Michigan Central Station goes back online, completing a five-year return for business coming back to the iconic building.
