Saginaw council agenda lists commercial rehabilitation district vote; zoning board hears three variance requests
Saginaw's City Council agenda for Oct. 12 listed a public hearing and a vote on creating a Commercial Rehabilitation Act District covering nine properties, alongside several grant agreements and a city equipment purchase. Minutes for every meeting in the past two weeks have not yet been published, so the record available here shows what was scheduled, not what was decided.
City Council: rehabilitation district, grants, and a woodchipper
The Oct. 12 agenda listed a public hearing and vote on a proposed Commercial Rehabilitation Act District for 212 and 218 S. Hamilton, 303, 309, and 315 Adams, 200, 304, and 400 S. Niagara, and 202 Mackinaw. The meeting notice's headline references Shaheen Development; the agenda summary does not describe the project further.
