Summary

The board awarded a demolition and abatement contract not to exceed $50,800 for Lexington and Applegate; funding is to be reimbursed by the State Land Bank and Economic Development Director Samantha Schuttler was authorized to sign the contract.

The Sanilac County Board of Commissioners authorized awarding the demolition and abatement contract for Lexington and Applegate to a contractor in Clare, Michigan, at a cost not to exceed $50,800. The resolution states funding for the immediate approval will be reimbursed by the State Land Bank, and the board authorized Economic Development Director Samantha Schuttler to sign the contract.

The item was presented as part of the Economic Development Corporation agenda and was adopted by unanimous voice vote. During public comment later in the meeting, a village supervisor urged broader outreach about Brownfield opportunities to encourage more local projects to advance.

Why it matters: the award advances a brownfield redevelopment project that local officials said might not have proceeded without Brownfield Authority support; reimbursement by the State Land Bank reduces immediate net county cost but requires coordination to secure reimbursement.
