Fox 17 News
A few weeks before MLive’s article Fox came out to film an interview about the project. Janice Allen from Fox was very kind and very interested in First Place, and also did a great job of covering the important points. The film crew came at a very early point in construction, so there is not a lot of the building to see in the video, but even so they give a great overview.

After the previous articles came out, the Mac and Shmitty morning show on Star 105.7 responded to them by bringing the story to their listeners on Star 105.7 as well. Check out to the audio from their show below:
