LANSING, Mich.: Recently, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced two redevelopment projects receiving support from the bipartisan Revitalization and Placemaking (RAP) program, creating 23 new apartments and commercial space in Detroit and Mason. Together, the projects will generate a total capital investment of over $8.7 million in the state while activating vacant properties and increasing community vibrancy.
The RAP program provides access to gap financing for place-based infrastructure development and real estate rehabilitation and development.
“Michigan is on the move and open for business, and these 23 new apartments will create good-paying jobs and more vibrant communities across our state,” said Governor Whitmer. “Programs like RAP help to create vibrant places that attract and retain talented workers, grow small businesses, add new housing options, and more. Let’s keep working together to make Michigan the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”…
