Board adopts West Main 1 brownfield plan to support 444‑unit development in Oshtemo Township

Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners · September 2, 2026

Summary

The board adopted the West Main 1 HDIF Brownfield plan to support a mixed‑use development in Oshtemo Township: 444 units (336 multifamily, 108 for‑sale duplex‑style homes), 66 income‑restricted units at 80% AMI for 12 years, and a reported capital investment over $115 million.

After a public hearing, the board voted to adopt the West Main 1 HDIF Brownfield plan submitted for Oshtemo Township. Project representative Joe Miller of Johnson Growth Advisors described the development as 444 residential units (336 multifamily and 108 for‑sale single‑family/duplex units), including 66 units restricted to households at 80% area median income for 12 years, and said the project represents more than $115 million in private investment. "The project represents 444 new residential units in Oshtemo Township," Miller told the board during the hearing.

Commissioners framed the action as significant for local housing and noted that the brownfield/TIF assistance is integral to the project's feasibility; the resolution passed on a 7‑yes roll‑call vote. The board adjourned the hearing to the call of the chair and moved the adoption into the consent/regular agenda where the motion passed with no recorded nays.
