Even though demolition of the 1980's addition of the old Cass Tech High School began this week,

There is still an effort from the Cass Tech Historic Society to redevelop the historic portion of the building. They are trying to raise $5 million by April 8th. Please read.

From the Website of the Cass Tech Preservation Society (http://www.casstechhistoric.org):

"We’ve found Joel Landy. He has redeveloped four Detroit schools. He has a viable redevelopment plan for Cass. Also, Richard Baron has developed $2 billion of real estate in 33 cities. He’s a native Detroiter wanting to give back.
This could be a $130 million project. It will be private investment not taxpayer money. But if the Cass Tech community won’t contribute money and ideas first, the developers won’t act. They’ve told us that."


Also, watch the video of the former Miss America, Carol Gist, as she appeals to YOU to contribute.

The Website tells you how you can contribute. I am not wealthy, but I donated some money. Just give $25. It's an easy way to preserve Detroit's history! This is a way to bring about economic development and preserve this rapidly declining city's history. Please consider doing this.
