School restoration plan gets brownfield boost by Matt Jachman Hometown Life (MI) March 22, 2016 Brownfield financing of more than $1 million will help developers with the cost of restoring a vacant school in Plymouth’s Old Village that’s slated to be converted into 22 loft-style apartments. The Plymouth City Commission approved the brownfield plan for the Starkweather School project with a 4-0 vote on Monday. The plan will make the project eligible for tax-increment financing totaling nearly $1.65 million over 15 years. Developers have purchased the 5.5-acre property on Holbrook from the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools for $1.15 million, and developers plan to repurpose the 1927 school building into apartments while keeping many of its historic features intact, plus build 23 single-family houses on the site. Work should begin this spring, said Mark Menuck, one of the partners on the project. … For the entire article, see http://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/plymouth/2016/03/22/school-restoration-plan-gets-brownfield-boost/82150932/ -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director, Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center 278-A Hope St., Mountain View, CA 94041 Voice: 650/961-8918 or 650/969-1545 Fax: 650/961-8918 <lsiegel@cpeo.org> http://www.cpeo.org _______________________________________________ Brownfields mailing list Brownfields@lists.cpeo.org http://lists.cpeo.org/listinfo.cgi/brownfields-cpeo.org | |
