Detroit � The Coleman A. Young Municipal building will reopen on Wednesday, July 9th The building will be open to both employees and the general public for regular business. Employees should report at their regularly scheduled times after 7:30 am.

"It was important that we continued to conduct the City's business while most of our employees were either off on an extended vacation or shifted to an alternate location," said Mayor Kilpatrick.

The Building Authority was able to obtain all of the necessary sign-offs to ensure the safety of both employees and the visiting public. Those include environmental and fire inspections.

The Coleman A. Young Municipal Center closed down Friday, June 27th after lightening struck a transformer sending a surge to three servers housed in the County's basement, starting a fire. Both City and County services were moved alternate locations including the Mayor's Office and the City Council to allow them to function as close to normal basis as possible.
