Interior construction to repurpose the former Eddy Elementary School in St. Clair could begin as soon as this fall with plans for portions of the vacant building to become senior housing, offices and more.
St. Clair planning commissioners approved a special zoning use for the property, 301 N. Ninth St., on Wednesday under the city’s adaptive reuse ordinance.
It’s the first of several approvals needed for the project. Officials said it is part of a larger three-phase development push for Eddy, as well as nearby Gearing Elementary, which remains an active school for another three years, and the vacant property in between both schools.
Planning commission considers ordinance revisions
At a February Macomb Township Planning Commission meeting, it was said that more industrial land is needed in the township. One suitable location would be along 26 Mile Road, between Luchtman Road and North Avenue.

MACOMB TOWNSHIP A couple of Macomb Township ordinances are in the process of being reviewed.
At a Macomb Township Planning Commission meeting last month, ordinances were discussed and an update was provided for the master plan.
For the sign ordinance review, Dave Scurto, the township’s planning consultant, said a few years ago, a case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court that ruled that any sign ordinance can’t regulate information.
