Michael Jackson fans who visit the late star's childhood home in Gary, Indiana will soon have a much more interesting place to go. The Jackson family and city officials announced Wednesday that a 300-million-dollar Michael Jackson-themed complex is planned, complete with a museum, hotel, dining and shopping facilities, as well as a performing arts center. Rudy Clay, the mayor of Gary, said that the project could potentially attract 750,000 visitors to the city and inject 150 million dollars into the local economy, as well as create hundreds of jobs.
Micheal's father Joe Jackson told reporters, "Remember, the song says, 'I'm going back to Indiana, Indiana here I come?' Well, we are coming back. We're bringing something back."
