At least 75 people showed up at the mandatory pre-bid meeting for developers interested in submitting a proposal to bid on Ann Arbor's "library lot."
My colleague, Ryan Stanton, attended the meeting and posted a story about it, adding to his ongoing coverage.
Meanwhile, I took a few minutes to catch up with Jayne Miller, community services director for the city, as she concluded her after-meeting tour of the site next to the downtown Ann Arbor District Library at about noon.
Despite an earlier story that raised doubts about potential developer interest in the property, she told me that both familiar local faces - like Campus Inn owner Dennis Dahlmann, who was among those at the site after the meeting - and out-of-town prospects attended the pre-bid conference.
Watch the video for a few other comments from Miller.
