AHEPA 17 W. Orange Street shed demolition

The AHEPA national executive director apologized for tearing down an old shed without permits — it collapsed over a sinkhole and was a safety hazard — and said the organization will rehabilitate the historic building as a cultural center and museum, with corrected paperwork coming in December.

He took personal responsibility for advising the shed demolition, praised the city's historic preservation staff and grant program, and urged the board to champion Greektown's historic character while lamenting a new out-of-character home on Grand Boulevard and worrying about truck parking damaging a magnificient tree at the AHEPA clubhouse.
