What a great name! Very fitting.


Grayling -

Sawmill Lofts, a 42-unit, 5-story, mixed-use workforce housing development, is planned for downtown Grayling on Michigan Ave. The developer is MCC (Michigan Community Capital - the same entity behind the Cadillac Lofts, Boyne City's Lofts on Lake Street, and TC's East Bay Flats, as well as numerous other projects throughout the lower part of the state). I'm trying to find a status update on this $10.6 million project. The most recent news I can find is this article from September 2020, which notes that an amended brownfield plan was approved by Crawford County, but the project is now seeking additional funding from various sources, including $1.5 million Community Revitalization Grant from the MEDC -

This would be quite a big development for Grayling (population ~ 2,000). Most of the buildings downtown are 1 - 2 stories. The site would be on this corner, and it would replace the former Sawmill Billiards / Tavern, the Crawford County Avalanche office building, and the Heirloom Antique Mall. I'm surprised that there wasn't more pushback from residents regarding the height. Or maybe there was.
