Since 1854 — News from Montcalm County and Ionia County, Michigan
An amendment to the “redevelopment and reimbursement” agreement for the Harker Middle School brownfield in Saranac was approved on Feb. 14 by the Ionia County Board of Commissioners.
The amendment was first approved by the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority at their Jan. 24 meeting and came before the board on Feb. 14 for final approval.
As a resident living on this city’s northeast side, developer Tori Brayton is hopeful her proposed housing development will only add to the value of the neighborhood she calls home.
Living on N. Fourth Street, the North Wood project proposed by Brayton of Brayton Homes LLC to construct six duplex-style condominium buildings containing 12 units on 2.55 acres of vacant property she purchased on E. North Street sits just a few blocks away, and upon completion, she’s expecting the units to better the community by providing new, affordable housing options for the community.
The former E. Washington Street location of Sparrow Ionia Hospital location may have new life after the Ionia Planning Commission approved a concept drawing for a residential development.
Greg Cook of AC Development submitted the preliminary drawing to the Planning Commission looking for “some direction,” Planning Commission Chairman Boomer Hoppough said during the commission’s March 10 meeting.
