Demolition began last month on the former Novi Expo Center, which sits on a 25-acre site at I-96 and Novi Road. The demolition project will take an estimated six weeks to tear down the 300,000 square-foot building built in 1966 to house auto supplier Adell Industries. The building has been vacant for seven years, since Novi Expo Center president Blair Bowman relocated his convention center to the site now known as the Suburban Collection Showplace. There are no immediate plans for the parcel, but the city would like to see it developed in accordance with the City's Master Plan.
