County Board OKs Near North Brownfield

By

At their Aug. 4, 2010 meeting, the Washtenaw County board of commissioners unanimously approved a brownfield plan for the Near North affordable housing development in Ann Arbor. The project, located just north of the Ann Arbor DDA district, is eligible for brownfield status because of cleanup needed on the 1.19-acre site along 626-724 N. Main St., south of Summit. Gaining brownfield status will allow the project to seek up to $720,000 in Michigan Business Tax brownfield redevelopment credits.
