Boyne City approves Moxie Group development agreement to advance housing project
Summary
The Boyne City Commission approved a development agreement with the Moxie Group (for Block C), a step staff said is needed for the developer’s Brownfield Authority review; commissioners stressed milestone accountability.
The Boyne City Commission voted July 14 to approve a development agreement between the city and a private developer identified in the agenda packet as the Moxie Group to advance a housing project described to address local housing needs.
Zach (staff presenter) outlined the agreement’s timeline and said dates in the contract are intentionally generous to avoid later delays. Staff said the developer will appear before the county Brownfield Authority on July 27 and that the city’s agreement is a key part of the Brownfield application.
Commissioners emphasized accountability for the schedule. The commission’s motion authorized the city manager and clerk‑treasurer to execute the agreement; a roll‑call vote carried with the commissioners present voting in favor.
Why it matters: Staff framed the agreement as a necessary procedural step to move a multi‑year project off dead center and to position the developer for Brownfield funding and approvals. Commissioners asked staff to confirm whether anything else would be needed ahead of the county review.
What’s next: Staff will confirm outstanding materials for the Brownfield meeting and report back to the commission if additional city action is required.
