What Should Take the Former Warren Bank's Place in Waldenburg?

You've lived in Macomb Township for five, 10, maybe 25 years, but have you ever had a say in community planning?

Despite its name, community planning is not a community-wide effort. We're going to change that–even if it's just in theory–here on Patch.

Taking a 21st-century spin on community planning, Patch is putting everything on the digital drawingboard and asking residents to share their visions for vacant properties in town.

Each week we'll present a new vacant building and ask you to tell us what you think would be the best use. Forget what zone it's in, ignore setback regulations, dump lot coverage rules and all the other zoning jargon that puts most people to sleep. If you had your way, what would you like to see there? What would be the best use for the community?

We launch this new weekly series by featuring the now vacant building at 48800 Romeo Plank Rd., Macomb, MI 48044.

This building was most recently the home of Warren Bank, but has sat vacant since Dec. 11, 2009, when the accounts of Warren were moved to the Huntington Bank office at .

More than two years later and the building is still vacant. What would you like to see go in there?

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article referred to the building at 47047 Romeo Plank Road as the former home of Huntington Bank. It has been corrected to state that the building formerly housed Warren Bank, which was taken over by Huntington and closed two years ago.
