Dan Gilbert出资10亿美元成立非营利组织 接手底特律文艺复兴中心改造
商人 Dan Gilbert 10月19日宣布，将出资10亿美元成立一家新的非营利组织，负责改造并长期持有位于密歇根州韦恩县（Wayne County）底特律市的文艺复兴中心及东河滨地区。
这家尚待命名的组织为501(c)(4)社会福利组织，将持有改造后的文艺复兴中心与35英亩河滨区。此举是 Bedrock 与通用汽车此前提出的22亿美元改造方案的最新进展：方案拟拆除临底特律河的两栋大楼、将用地扩建为河滨景观，并翻新其余三栋塔楼；文艺复兴中心部分的改造预算为16亿美元，东河滨建设另需6.24亿美元。此前报道显示，Bedrock 将为文艺复兴中心部分出资10亿美元，通用汽车出资2.5亿美元。
公司方正为该项目寻求约5.48亿美元的州与地方税收优惠，期限30年，相关社区福利听证此前已遭遇不少反对意见。下一次社区福利会议预计10月20日举行。
Bedrock 首席执行官 Jared Fleisher 在10月19日的发布会上表示，这笔10亿美元出资不可抵税、永不偿还，项目未来盈余在支付各项费用后必须全部回投社区。新组织的董事会成员包括底特律 NAACP 分会主席 Wendell Anthony 牧师和 Rocket Companies 前首席执行官 Bill Emerson。（GSM 据《底特律自由新闻报》报道）
Dan Gilbert Pledges $1 Billion to Nonprofit That Will Own and Redevelop Detroit's Renaissance Center
Businessman Dan Gilbert announced on October 19 that he will pledge $1 billion to create a new nonprofit organization to redevelop and own the Renaissance Center and the east riverfront in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan.
The unnamed organization, a 501(c)(4) social welfare nonprofit, is slated to own the redeveloped Renaissance Center and a 35-acre riverfront area. The move is the latest step in the $2.2 billion plan proposed by Bedrock and General Motors to tear down the two RenCen towers closest to the Detroit River, expand riverfront attractions on the land and renovate the remaining three towers. The Renaissance Center portion of the redevelopment carries a $1.6 billion budget, with a further $624 million for the east riverfront buildout. Bedrock was previously reported to be contributing $1 billion toward the RenCen portion, with GM contributing $250 million.
The companies are seeking nearly $548 million in state and local tax incentives over 30 years for the project, a request that has drawn considerable pushback at community benefits meetings. The next community benefits meeting is expected on October 20.
Bedrock CEO Jared Fleisher said at an October 19 press conference that the $1 billion contribution is not tax deductible and will never be repaid, and that any future surplus must be reinvested back into the community. Board members of the new organization will include the Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the Detroit branch of the NAACP, and Bill Emerson, former CEO of Rocket Companies.
