Cobo Center ready to debut plaza this spring

DETROIT (AP) - Detroit's Cobo Center is getting ready to debut a new plaza this spring that will host art exhibits, exercise events and other activities.

Those involved in the effort say Cobo Square caps a $279 million, five-year overhaul of the convention center. The 45,000 square feet of outdoor space was created as part of what is described as an adaptive reuse design of the old Cobo Arena.

Cobo Square also is envisioned as a place for activities between major events at Cobo Center, which is home to the annual North American International Auto Show.
