The After Lofts of Middleville received acclaim in October 2018 when the Village announced the commencement of the project during a celebratory kick-off event. The long-awaited project has been a topic of discussion for promoting adaptable reuse of historic buildings in a downtown setting. As rehabilitation begins, you will witness momentous improvements to the exterior, including the removal of unsightly metal siding, installation of plank boards, repair of tuck point masonry on the existing brick, restoration of the cast iron posts, new siding, replacement and installation of new windows, and landscaping. The interior will be renovated into four two-bedroom apartments, accessible by an enclosed stairway in the rear of the building. The main level is planned for approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of commercial/retail space, and the lower level is planned for 2,400 sq. ft. of office and service space. Upon completion, the Lofts of Middleville will establish the high standard of redevelopment in the Village of Middleville for decades to come. — 1 — THORNAPPLE TOWNSHIP & MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN 49333 From the Village Manager Township Thoughts Let’s talk about Middleville, other people are!

The initiatives run the gamut from the environmentally friendly, first-ever curbside compost pickup pilot program, to a skate board park, a micro hotel, new businesses and measures to protect our pets. In addition, I am very excited about our police department getting body worn cameras. Not only will this provide more transparency with community interaction, but it will also save taxpayer dollars by discouraging frivolous and potentially costly lawsuits. Pedestrian safety is another important area where new initiatives have Alderman Zielinski joined in the spirit of fun with some advanced, and I’ve included information about a few of these important participants at the Ohio Park Neighborhood Association’s annual Halloween costume contest. projects in this newsletter. Finally, I voted for the upcoming 2016 city budget because it provides for a zero property tax levy increase. It is critical that we are frugal and efficient with hard-earned taxpayer dollars. It should also be noted that all of these new, multi-million dollar developments are expanding our tax base, thereby helping to reduce the tax burden on everyone. I want to remind everyone that my most important job is to be responsive to your wants, needs, and concerns. Please do not hesitate to call me at 286-2873 or email me [email protected] if you feel I can be of service.
