Gov. Whitmer announced on Thursday that the city of Manistique has received $358,717 in Community Development Block Grant funds for the Multi Family Rehab at 107 River Street project in downtown Manistique.
The project will create new residential space throughout the historic building in the heart of downtown. When completed, the building will include four new residential units, with three of the apartments to be occupied by low- to moderate-income households. The CDBG funds will be used for architecture and engineering, partial interior demolition, construction of new interior walls, and plumbing and mechanical upgrades. Installation of new fixtures, energy efficient appliances, cabinetry, drywall, flooring and painting will also be completed.
The project is expected to generate a total private investment of $123,817 and will revitalize an underutilized historic building into much-needed housing in downtown Manistique. The city of Manistique has committed to supporting the project by funding snow removal and park improvements.
“By revitalizing this historic building, this project will bring new opportunities for economic growth and vibrancy to downtown Manistique,” Whitmer said. “This project is an example of our commitment to creating the places where people want to live, work, visit, and play, and where businesses want to invest and grow.”
“The city of Manistique is proud to support the owners of the project on River St.,” said Manistique City Manager and Finance Officer Sheila Aldrich. “We appreciate that they are making such a big investment in our community and are providing a much-needed housing need.”
