Shiawassee County approves Brownfield Plan for Crestview Heights after brief public hearing

The Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners on April 15 approved Resolution #26-04-07 adopting a Brownfield Plan for the Crestview Heights development in Corunna, following a brief public hearing.

The board opened the hearing, received additional information from Justin Horvath of SEPD, heard no public comment and closed the hearing before voting. The resolution passed unanimously, 7-0.

The board’s resolution records findings required by the Michigan Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act (Act 381), including that the Plan constitutes a public purpose, the proposed financing is feasible, eligible costs are reasonable and necessary, and the estimated captured taxable value is reasonable. The Brownfield Plan authorizes tax increment financing of eligible activities to facilitate redevelopment; the resolution notes the plan’s duration is estimated at 19 years but may not exceed 35 years as permitted by Act 381.

The City of Corunna previously reviewed and passed a concurrence resolution at its February 17, 2026 meeting, and the Shiawassee County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority recommended the Plan for county approval. The board’s action authorizes county administration and the Authority to proceed with implementation steps stated in the Plan and to coordinate with affected taxing jurisdictions as outlined in the resolution.

No public speakers opposed the plan during the hearing. The board took the formal vote immediately after the hearing and adopted Resolution #26-04-07; next steps are administrative implementation by the County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and any required filings consistent with Act 381.
