Detroit shopping center developer Richard Agree has begun work to lay a parking lot at the former Stadium Row shopping center project on W. Stadium Blvd., now renamed Boulevard Plaza. Masonry work to complete the center's partially-collapsed walls will begin soon and steel roof beams are due to go up in mid-February. City officials have set a March deadline for progress on the site, idle for four years. Agree says he'll meet the deadline to retrieve his $25,000 bond. A Farmer Jack supermarket is due to open in the center by early summer, Agree says.
