Mayor Duggan weighs in on final priorities

• He's made executing big real estate developments a cornerstone of his three-term mayorship.

What they're saying: "I've got a few things I'm trying to get done," he told reporters after a press event Tuesday at a new glass manufacturing plant.

Zoom in: He said he'd like to see the Detroit City FC soccer stadium project that's going through a community benefits process get approved.

• He wants approval for the WNBA practice facility and recreation space proposed along the east riverfront on the empty industrial Uniroyal site.
• He's hoping for zoning changes to make it easier to build housing.

Also: Duggan was asked if he expects any momentum this year on the proposed Renaissance Center redevelopment that's hit a snag in securing public funding.

• The shared vision from Dan Gilbert's Bedrock and General Motors would involve tearing down two of five towers, converting a tower to residences and creating a riverfront entertainment district.
• "We'll see," Duggan answered. "So that really is a function of Lansing. Everything is moving forward on the planning side."
• "I won't predict Lansing … I think there's getting to be a great consensus building that Dan Gilbert's plan [for the RenCen] is the right one."
