The National Guard vacated the old prison grounds at some point. It's now the "Armory Arts Project," an urban redevelopment program. They plan to turn some of the old buildings into affordable gallery and living space for artists, plus some office space, retail stuff (a mall?) and conference center. The most visible change so far is the construction of glassy new offices of the Great Lakes Home Health and Hospice, just outside the old prison wall. Further construction is expected to begin fall 2006.
