Ahead of Tuesday’s big press conference, Ford is releasing some information about its plans for Michigan Central Station, Corktown, and Detroit. More plans will be detailed this week; for now, here’s what we know.

The Corktown campus will be an “an innovation hub for Ford’s vision for the future of transportation.” The company is expecting the square footage of its Corktown campus to run 1.2 million square feet (with Michigan Central Station taking up 600,000). 900,000 of that is expected to be used by Ford and its partners, with 300,000 of that for community space, retail, and housing.
