Community Divided Over Mundi Mega Site Impact During Local Tour

The Michigan Legislature held a meeting on September 3, 2025, to discuss the Mundi Mega site, a proposed industrial development in Mundy Township. The meeting featured a report from a local representative who conducted a community tour to gauge public opinion on the project.

During the tour, the representative visited several neighborhoods, including Flint, Burton, and Grand Blanc, where he found that many residents were unaware of the Mundi Mega site. Out of approximately 100 households surveyed, most had no formulated opinion about the project. However, those who were informed tended to support the idea of job creation associated with the site, despite lacking knowledge about potential environmental impacts or taxpayer assistance involved.

In Mundy Township, particularly at a local Meijer store, opinions were more divided, with a roughly equal split between supporters and opponents of the project. The representative noted that residents in the nearby Maple Creek Preserve neighborhood were largely opposed, citing concerns over the loss of farmland and the perceived corruption in the development process. Some residents expressed skepticism about the motivations of the Homeowners Association, which they felt was influenced by outside interests.

The representative also highlighted the physical characteristics of the Mundi Mega site, describing it as a large, flat area primarily used for farming. He reported that recent demolitions of homes in the area, including a church and several houses, have raised concerns among residents about the future of their community.

The meeting concluded with a call for further testimony regarding the Mundi Mega site, emphasizing the need for transparency and community engagement in the development process. The discussions underscored the complexities surrounding corporate subsidies and state investments, as well as the importance of addressing community concerns in future planning efforts.
