What Should Developers Do With the Former 47th District Court Property?

The old courthouse on 10 Mile Road is up for sale. Tell us what kind of development you think would fit in that area.

For almost 10 years, the former 47th District Court building has been sitting vacant on 10 Mile east of Farmington Road in Farmington. 

Last month, Farmington city council members authorized a contract with Thomas A. Duke Company to market the 14,000-square-foot building, while sits on a 3.87 acre site. The goal is to sell the property to a private developer, so we wondered what readers would like to see built on that site.
