Should The Grand Prix Be On Belle Isle? This Group Says No

Daily Detroit

About this episode

The Detroit Grand Prix is an annual event that brings nearly a hundred thousand people to the island, national television coverage and some charity dollars through their Grand Prixmere fundraiser.

But there's a group of concerned citizens and park goers who say that the price paid in damage to the park and restricted access is too high.

Today on the show, we talk about this with three members of Belle Isle Concern - Angela Lugo-Thomas, Sandra Novacek and Michael Betzold.
