The Grand Rapids Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA) and Economic Development Corporation (EDC) met in November 2025. The BRA approved multiple redevelopment work plans and reimbursements, including a brownfield amendment for a 14-unit prefabricated “smart homes” project led by Seeds of Promise, two separate housing TIF work plans (443 Sheldon SE and Powers Place) and reimbursement for the completed 1601 Madison project. The BRA also reviewed environmental site assessment grant activity and set aside remaining ESA funds. The EDC approved issuance of limited-obligation revenue bonds to finance the Beacon Hill at Eastgate senior housing expansion. Several items involved land-bank parcels, inclusion/participation goals, and questions about income qualification and management for affordable units.
