Two Detroit business tycoons are making big moves.

Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne announced the company will support the M-1 Woodward Avenue light-rail project by committing three million dollars over five years to sponsor one of the stations along the 3.3-mile route from downtown Detroit to New Center.

He made the promise to real estate mogul and Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, a principal supporter of the M-1 project. Returning the favor, Gilbert said he’d take on a leadership role with the United Way for Southeastern Michigan, of which Marchionne is the fund-raising chair. Dollar, dollar bills ya'll.

This all went down just before Chrysler inked a deal to lease two floors of space and move 70 people downtown to the former Dime Building, which Gilbert scooped up during last summer's real estate pillaging. It's been renamed the Chrysler House.

This group is working to start a community radio station in Detroit.

With Detroit city officials looking to eliminate City Airport's budget, WDET checks in with the people in the neighborhood to find out what they hope the fate of the site will be.

Tony Molinaro handles public affairs for the Federal Aviation Administration. He tells WDET’s Travis Wright that $9.7 million in federal grants to Coleman A. Young International come with assurances that, in effect, protect the site from becoming anything but an airport.
