Middleville staff report developer withdrawal at 115 High Street, purchase agreement for 36 State Street
Summary
Planning Administrator Doug Powers told commissioners that a developer at 115 High Street has indicated they will not move forward, staff received a purchase agreement for 36 State Street that attorneys must vet, and a ground‑breaking took place at the Royal Stage Coach site.
Administrator Doug Powers updated the planning commission on several downtown development items, including a developer’s decision not to move forward at 115 High Street and an incoming purchase agreement for 36 State Street that requires attorney review.
Powers said the developer at 115 High Street has stated they are not intending to move forward and staff is working with the village attorney to determine options for the property. On 36 State Street, Powers said staff has received a purchase agreement from a developer but attorneys are vetting options before the item is ready for council review. Powers also noted a ground‑breaking for a project at the Royal Stage Coach site took place earlier in the day.
Why it matters: the developments affect downtown parcels and potential future tax base and land‑use outcomes. Staff also proposed a tentative joint workshop with the council to discuss master plan survey results, aiming to schedule a meeting around July 17, subject to members’ availability.
Next steps: staff will continue legal review of options for 115 High Street, work with the purchaser’s agreement team for 36 State Street, and coordinate scheduling for a joint planning commission–council master plan workshop.
