==Economy== In addition to its schools, the Downriver Campus of the [[Wayne County Community College District]], churches, parks, golf courses, recreation center, library, and the [[Oakwood Health System]]'s Heritage Hospital, Taylor also has commercial and industrial sectors, restaurants, and shopping. [[Southland Shopping Center]], a regional shopping mall with over 100 stores, was opened in 1970 at Eureka Road and Pardee Road. In 2014, it was announced that the 80 acre property located at Eureka Road and I-75 which previously held the [[Gibraltar Trade Center]] would be redeveloped into what became Trader's Pointe, which opened in June 2018. Taylor had also been the home to the headquarters of [[Masco Corporation]], the 13th largest publicly traded company in Michigan. The company has been headquartered in Taylor since its foundation in 1929 by [[Alex Manoogian]]. However, in 2015 it was announced the company would be moving out of the city. The property is being leased by [[Ford Motor Company]] in an announcement released in April 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thenewsherald.com/news/business/ford-motor-co-moving-into-former-masco-building-in-taylor/article_5e8add37-ab83-5d33-91f9-87eab1fc6adb.html|title=Ford Motor Co. moving into former Masco building in Taylor|first=Dave Herndon dherndon@heritage.com @NHDaveH on|last=Twitter|website=thenewsherald.com|access-date=5 April 2018}}</ref> Taylor Lanes has hosted numerous [[ten-pin bowling]] championships on the [[Professional Bowlers Association]]'s [[PBA Tour]], beginning with the [[PBA Bowling Tour: 1985 Season|1985]] [[Budweiser]] Open. The tour stops have included the Greater Detroit Open, Motor City Classic, Ultimate Scoring Championship, and a [[PBA World Championship]] major event ([[PBA Bowling Tour: 2004β05 season|2005]]). The property was sold in 2016 to Life Bridge Church, with the church preserving six of the center's 48 lanes for congregational use.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.downriverthings.com/photostory-taylor-lanes.html|title=Photostory: Taylor Lanes|last=Harrison|first=Kevin|website=downriverthings.com|date=30 April 2016|access-date=25 September 2020}}</ref>
