The Green Garage is actually 3 things: a building located in the Midtown area of Detroit, a business enterprise, and a community of people dedicated to Detroit’s sustainable future. The building dates back to 1920, when it was a showroom for Model T-based automobiles, and is on the National Registry of Historic Places (see building history). It was purchased in 2008 by Tom and Peggy Brennan, who, with a community of about 40 individuals, have developed plans for a green/historic renovation, and a business plan (developing green businesses).

The building is currently under construction, and we hope to open for business in June of 2010.
