Statement
from the
Detroit
Regional
Convention
Facility
Authority
and TCF
Center
March
29, 2020
DETROIT
- These
are
extraordinary
times
for our
state
and
nation.
In
response
to the
COVID-19
crisis,
TCF
Center
has been
designated
by
Governor
Gretchen
Whitmer,
State of
Michigan
and the
Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency
(FEMA)
as a
temporary
alternate
care
facility
in
Detroit.
Mobilization
has
already
begun
and
construction
will be
performed
by the
TCF
Center
workforce
and
union
labor.
The
temporary
site is
planned
for
COVID-19
patients,
relieving
the
burden
on local
hospitals
treating
patients
with
COVID-19.
With
guidance
from
FEMA and
other
officials,
the site
will be
designed
in the
most
efficient
way
possible
in order
to allow
the
convention
center
to
resume
normal
operations
in the
weeks
ahead
when
this
crisis
eases.
In
addition,
we have
not lost
sight of
our
clients.
In
collaboration
with the
Detroit
Metro
Convention
&
Visitors
Bureau,
we are
working
closely
with our
customers
to
reschedule
events
at a
time
most
beneficial
to them.
As
we
navigate
this
unprecedented
time
together,
TCF
Center
is fully
prepared
to do
its part
in
supporting
our
residents
and
community.
We stand
in awe
of the
tireless
and
dedicated
healthcare
workers
and
first
responders
who are
true
heroes
of our
time
