During the Kalamazoo City Commission Committee of the Whole Meeting held on Monday, the main focus was on the “B On Burdick” project, a proposed mixed-use, mixed-income development in collaboration with Bronson Hospital. The project aims to provide workforce housing and includes a grocery store, early childhood education facilities, and a fitness studio. The Commission discussed various incentives to support the project, including tax abatements, tax increment financing (TIF), and loans. Public comments were made regarding local issues like deer population control and community engagement. The meeting highlighted the project’s potential to transform the Vine neighborhood with affordable housing and commercial spaces.
