FERNDALE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SEEKS TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF KULICK COMMUNITY CENTER TO CITY BY MIKE KOURY
mkoury@candgnews.com
FERNDALE — The former site of the Kulick Community Center might be finding its way back to the city of Ferndale. In an announcement made on social
media Aug. 26, Ferndale Public Schools said it would look to transfer the ownership of the Kulick Community Center property, located at 1201 Livernois St., to the city. “Our school district recognizes the historical and cultural importance of the community center,” Ferndale Public Schools
Superintendent Camille Hibbler said in a prepared statement. “For generations, this building has been more than just a structure, it’s been a gathering place, a home for celebrations, a hub for programs and a cornerstone of our community’s story. While it hasn’t been in use for the past several years
due to infrastructure needs, we are committed to ensuring that it is preserved as a valuable resource in the years to come.” “We believe this will help preserve the center’s role in the community while opening new opportunities for growth and use,” See KULICK on page 2A
Planning Commission recommends denial of proposed Ferndale car wash BY MIKE KOURY mkoury@candgnews.com
FERNDALE — The development of a proposed car wash in Ferndale has hit a snag. At its Aug. 20 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the special land use application and site plan for the development of an El Car Wash at 22230 Woodward Ave. The proposed project would see the demolition of the existing building, which previously was the location of a Tim Hortons and Cold Stone Creamery, and follow with the construction of a 3,623-square-foot car wash. It also would include a 1,373-square-foot second-floor office area and 8,603-square-foot enclosed vacuuming area. See CAR WASH on page 4A
