Partner Steve Hilfinger was quoted in an Associated Press article, “Tiger Stadium Site Gets New Life as Youth Sports Facility,” about the firm’s work representing the Detroit Police Athletic League in the redevelopment of Tiger Stadium. Foley has been advising Detroit PAL largely on a pro-bono basis since the redevelopment project’s inception five years ago and has led negotiations for land rights and sought new markets tax credits and bridge loans for project financing.
“This would be an exciting project for any firm to work on, but as a firm that has been in downtown Detroit since the founding of our office nearly 20 years ago, it’s especially fulfilling to see this one come together,” said Hilfinger, one of the Foley attorneys who helped on the project.
