		Completed in 1928, the stately 45-story office building was the tallest building in Michigan for half a century, and thanks to some major renovations in the last few years and ongoing maintenance work performed by the building trades, most of the structure probably looks as good today as it did when it first opened.
		The Detroit Area Art Deco Society Award was given to the building last year as a project that has "completed a significant restoration to a 20th century building in the art deco, moderne or streamline style."

		Though the panel that’s been assembled to conduct the meeting isn’t the real Brewer Planning Board, the presentation panelists will hear University of Maine engineering students address some real-life matters in the community, Drew Sachs, the city’s economic development director, said Tuesday.
		As part of their capstone design course, 28 university seniors divided into five teams have been charged with developing alternative designs for Penobscot Landing, as Brewer’s waterfront now is known, based on the master redevelopment plan the City Council adopted in November.
		While the master plan spells out proposed placements for waterfront attractions and features, as well as a timeline and cost estimates, it is still conceptual in nature, a document that will see fine-tuning as the plan is implemented.
