...Building Unique Garage Doors Since 1966
It was a bright, sunny day in early fall when IDA visited Henry Tarnow,
President of Tarnow Doors in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Nicknamed "The
City of the Future," Farmington Hills is an affuent community, part of the
upscale northwestern suburbs of Metropolitan Detroit. It ranks as one of the
safest cities in the United States.
About 25 miles removed from Detroit, Farmington Hills has felt the fnancial
pain of the Motor City, which in June 2013 fled the largest municipal
bankruptcy case in US history. But, also like Detroit, developers are
committed to Farmington Hills, and new development abounds.
Located just a few miles off 8 Mile Road, you can't help but think of rapper
Eminem, who made 8 Mile famous with a sound track and movie of the
same name, and the many, many other legendary musicians, sports fgures,
business and labor icons, and other celebrities associated with Detroit.
