Detroit — The City Council signed off on several key agreements with the Detroit Pistons that would bring the basketball team back to the city.
The panel voted 7-2 on Tuesday in favor of a development agreement, memorandum of understanding and a brownfield redevelopment plan associated with the team’s planned practice facility and headquarters building. The $83 million complex project is to be located in the city’s New Center area.
President Brenda Jones and council member Raquel Castaneda-Lopez vote no.
While Tuesday’s vote doesn’t totally seal the complex deal, the numerous council votes helped in moving it forward.
