Great news for Paul's Pipe Shop! A community improvement organization has purchased the condemned buildings and has started stabilization work!

www.mott.org/news/releases/mott-foundation-grants-3-5-million-to-communities-first-to-purchase-and-renovate-two-condemned-buildings-in-downtown-flint/?fbclid=IwAR2uxxESvjS8yV3hYH0KFjFmzkjueZdsW8ihHxosDG2tpUAvkaV9tyK-1D8_aem_AZfrfJFxtXecT0PHX8vlpUdJQfvN83GdFhgrk9dpQJ7O6VZdb4U7cr3V-RDMpucl_3k

In the pic with the collapsed brick wall, that is the back door of Paul's to the left.

its kind of appropriate that the funding came from the Charles Stuart Mott Foundation. C.S. Mott was a founder of General Motors, mayor of Flint, and a regular at Paul's Pipe Shop.
