FLINT, MI A developer is asking the city for a tax break to build new apartments for low- and moderate-income renters in the area of Hurley Medical Center and Atwood Stadium, a potential $14-million investment by the same company that built The Marketplace townhome project on the old YWCA property in downtown Flint.
The proposed five-story Flushing Place Apartments would be built on Stevenson Street, just south of Flushing Road, with 60 apartments and 3,800 square feet of first-floor commercial space, according to plans submitted to the city by Flushing Place LDHA LP and PK Construction Companies LLC.

Notable millage renewals included an MTA millage renewal for public transportation, a Flint public safety millage that funds police and fire in the city and a new millage dedicated to community mental health services through Genesee Health System.
