After asking around, my understanding is that GM is building a new facility in Milford at the GM Proving Grounds, and that their alternative fuel departments will be moving out that direction. If that's the case, you'll want to hold off on buying anything, as that would be a significant commute from Royal Oak or the like. Milford is on the edge of the metro Detroit area, so you can easily live someplace more rural if you want. Novi is also pretty nice and convenient to Milford.
