Prospective tenants already are being considered for the mixed-use development, the story said, but construction must be held until after the site is clear of environmental concerns.
According to previous reporting from AnnArbor.com, the site was one of five vacant or underutilized properties that consultants focused on last year while determining a strategic plan for downtown. The other sites included the former auto dealership Palmer Ford, the Clocktower, the Longworth buildings and several downtown parking lots and alleyways.

The Federal Screw building is not down yet. They must put up safty fencing before they tear down the exterior walls. They also have to put up silt fencing before they break any ground. The contractor wants to push the limit on doing these things. They affect property owners that surround the site.
