State officials have taken another step toward clearing part of the form er Detroit House of Corrections property in Plymouth Township for economic redevelopment. The ATC Group, an environmental consulting company, has been awarded a contract to gather information on the 125-acre site that’s needed for the planned demolition of dilapidated build­ ings there, plus to determine remedia­ tion needs for the site, part of which was used as a municipal dump. The 125 % acres are owned by the Michigan Land Bank; other parts of the form er city prison are owned by Plymouth Town­ ship and the city of Detroit.

As the walkers made their way back to camp at the Suburban Showplace Collection in Novi, they made a pit stop in North- ville - just in time for the Buy Michigan Festival in down­ town. Ellenburg’s first walk was in honor of her mother, who died of breast cancer in 2002, and she didn’t originally plan on doing another.

It might hurt in the process — your feet are sore, we’ve had people on crutches and in wheelchairs — but in the end, I can’t imagine not d o in g it.” Since then, she’s walked in cities nationwide, from Tampa to D.C. to San Diego this fall.
