DETROIT (AP) - Leaders of a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and improving Belle Isle say a hotel isn’t expected as part of efforts to develop a strategic plan for the island park.
Belle Isle Conservancy President Michele Hodges tells the Detroit Free Press (https://on.freep.com/1BdC10y ) that any ideas about hotels, lodges or widespread camping aren’t the kinds of concepts that will ultimately come to fruition. Limited overnight camping, however, is a possibility.
Hodges’ latest comments came after she told the newspaper for a story published Sunday that the conservancy, in partnership with the state Department of Natural Resources, had given a consultant carte blanche to imagine new ideas for Belle Isle.
Ideas are being looked at this year. Belle Isle became a state park last year as part of a cost-cutting effort for Detroit.
