Dozens of stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and pharmacies have sprung up around the new Metro Health hospital in Wyoming, driving property values up and bringing a booming economy to the area.
According to excerpts from the story:
WYOMING -- Over the years, Kathleen Cardenas turned down several offers for her home on Byron Center Avenue at 56th Street, a raised ranch that 20 years ago cost her $68,000.
