Definitely great to see the update there's a lot in the metro area that flys below the radar with the excitement over the city.

The Japanese automaker is in the "final stages of internal review" for the potential project at its Technical Center North America, spokesman Chris Keeffe said. Following corporate approval, construction could begin as early as this summer and take 18 months to complete.

"Right now, we're moving right along," Keeffe said. "It's something we think would be great because it would add to the (tech center's) assets as a hub for cutting edge R&D."

The center, at 39001 Sunrise Drive near 12 Mile and Haggerty roads, employs 1,200 and serves as the company's main campus for research and development. In 2002, the building underwent a $38.8 million, 90,000-square-foot expansion that resulted in 260 new jobs.

The city of Farmington Hills is supporting the proposed expansion with an Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate that would result in a $1.9 million tax break over six years, Hometown Life reported.
