Alma receives grant for new housing units
ALMA, Mich. (WNEM) – New housing units are coming to downtown Alma.
The nine new units will be located at 311 E. Superior Street.
The long-vacant 12,111 square-foot building is being rehabilitated with a $1.1 million Revitalization and Placemaking (RAP) grant, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced on Monday, Jan. 27.
“The RAP program helps us make our big cities and small towns better, more affordable places to live, work, and do business. These investments show how we’re improving quality of life for Michiganders by replacing old, abandoned buildings with new ones that give more Michiganders an affordable place to live or start or grow their own business. Let’s keep working together to lower costs for buyers and renters and reinvest in our communities,” Whitmer said.
This project will generate a total capital investment of more than $3 million to Alma’s downtown, Whitmer’s office said.
The project includes updates to the exterior façade, restoration to the original masonry, and new signage.
“This grant is a great opportunity to help provide much-needed housing, as well as preserve a historic part of downtown,” State Rep. Jerry Neyer (R-Shepherd) said.
