The landscape of downtown Farmington is poised for a transformation with the demolition of the long-vacant Maxfield Training Center, paving the way for a new $16 million residential development. CBS News Detroit reported that the lot, which once served as an educational facility dating back to 1880, will introduce 53 affordable townhomes known as Hillside Townes, expected to be listed in the mid-$300,000 range. The groundbreaking initiative is a response to Michigan’s tightening housing market, which seeks to address the needs of the ‘missing middle’.
