City Turns Detroit Zoo over to Detroit Zoological Society

The Detroit News reports that yesterday the Detroit City Council approved a deal to hand over management of the 75-year-old facility (and its $20 million a year average expenses) to the Detroit Zoological Society. Zoo Director Ron Kagan said the Zoological Society will work with the state Legislature to secure a $4 million state grant to operate the zoo this year.
