School district voice supports nearby apartments if mostly studios and one‑bedrooms
Summary
Mark Griglione, speaking for the Detroit School District, told the board he supports a nearby apartment development (north of Aldi) if units are primarily studios and one-bedroom apartments; he said the district already has students registering at a nearby development and noted the district serves over 4,000 students.
During the citizens comment period, Mark Griglione identified himself as representing the Detroit School District and said the district supports nearby apartment construction if the project provides primarily studios and one-bedroom units. "The district is in favor of the apartments ... as long as they are studios and 1 bedrooms and very few ... 2 bedrooms," he said, adding the district already has students registering at a nearby development and cited over 4,000 students in the district.
No other members of the public spoke during citizens comments. The board did not take action on the apartment matter during the meeting; Griglione's remarks were recorded as an expression of the district's preference for unit mix.
