LINCOLN PARK — A controversial strip club that has been debated off and on for years could finally open this week.
The state Liquor Control Commission is expected to approve a liquor license transfer Monday for the Larry Flynt Hustler Club, at John A. Papalas and Outer Drive.
The commission held a hearing on the matter Tuesday in which members of the Lincoln Park Ministerial Association submitted about 1,000 letters of protest, asking that the $7 million club not be allowed to open.
A commission spokeswoman declined to comment on the situation, saying only that the commission speaks through its written orders. Because of the Thanksgiving Day holiday, the commission is expected to formalize its decision Monday, she said.

“I would rather see a manufacturing facility than another strip club,” Basham said. “I don’t think the Hustler nightclub benefits Lincoln Park or Downriver. For the revenues brought to the city, I think that will be offset by more crime and police resources.”
