Once a symbol of urban decay in Detroit, the long-vacant train station was restored by Ford, which will use it as a centerpiece for what the company is calling a technology and cultural hub in the Corktown neighborhood.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, along with Ford Executive Chair Bill Ford and CEO Jim Farley, are also expected at the Thursday night event.
