Heard this on the news this morning:

Michigan House passes bill that would help develop a $110 million Kalamazoo arena
January 16, 2020
Andrew Dominianni | WWMT Newschannel 3

LANSING, Mich. — A sea of weed infested parking lots in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo that could be transformed into a $110 million multi-use event center and sports arena. On Thursday, Jan. 16, 2020, the Michigan House of Representatives approved House Bill 4816, which, as long as the Michigan Senate passes the bill, will allow the Kalamazoo County Commission to raise the 4% lodging tax in Kalamazoo. The tax would provide a steady stream of funding to build and maintain the arena...

Oshtemo Township -

I missed this last month, but Borgess has announced its plans to construct a new cancer center in the WMU Business Park expansion, right on the edge between Kalamazoo City and Oshtemo Township. They bought the first parcel there last fall. This is typically how things go with the two large, competing hospital businesses in town. Bronson builds something, then Borgess builds the same type of something. Bronson's 6-story cancer pavilion downtown is set to open end of this year.

Ascension Borgess plans new cancer center in WMU business park

Ryan Boldrey | MLive

KALAMAZOO, MI — Ascension Borgess announced plans Wednesday for a new 38,000-square-foot cancer center to be built in the newly completed second phase of Western Michigan University’s Business, Technology and Research Park. The healthcare organization, according to a Dec. 18 news release, will break ground on a recently-acquired 8.2-acre parcel of land near the intersection of Stadium Drive and South Drake Road in spring 2020. The new facility is projected to open to patients in 2021...

Here's another article about the recently passed hotel tax, as it applies to Kalamazoo -

Quote:
Kalamazoo hotel tax gets approved by state lawmakers
The new law allows local leaders to levy a hotel tax, with hopes that those funds can be used to build a new arena.
January 17, 2020
Joshua Scott | WKZO

KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) -- After a strong push by an area legislator, a bill has been passed allowing Kalamazoo County to place a hotel tax with money potentially going toward a new arena. House Bill 4816, known as the Regional Event Center Financing Act, was passed on Thursday, January 16th by the Michigan State Legislature. The new law gives the Kalamazoo County Commission the ability to levy a hotel and lodging tax on occupied rooms up to 4% the paid value. Current rules already allow big cities to institute hotel taxes, but this new legislation opens up the practice to smaller municipalities...

Western Michigan University's Dunbar Hall is about to undergo a $40 million renovation, that will include stripping parts of the existing 5 1/2 story structure down to its structural skeleton. The upgrades to this 1970's-era structure will further transform the rapidly changing main campus. There are a few renderings from a recent Town Hall meeting.

A little update on the county courthouse project. It really doesn't say anything new of note, save for the fact that it confirms construction should start this summer, which would mark a major milestone for Arcadia West (where no construction, save for surface parking, has occurred for decades).

Work on $90M Kalamazoo County courthouse set to begin this summer

KALAMAZOO, MI -- The construction management firm chosen to oversee Kalamazoo County’s new justice facility is looking begin Phase 1 of construction this summer. Kalamazoo-based company CSM Group was one of seven to bid on the project in August...The building is expected to be five-stories tall and 155,000-square-feet. It will house the county’s courts and other criminal justice-related offices...

Big update / catch-up list today. Some familiar things, but I also tried to highlight some of the less obvious things going on around the region. Let's start with some infrastructure improvements...

Flood Control in Kalamazoo

The City of Kalamazoo recently approved additional funds for additional dredging of some waterways, for better flood control in the Crosstown Ponds / Axtell Creek areas. The actual amount of material to be removed ended up being higher than initially estimated. This is by no means glorious work that will get SSP enthusiasts excited, but it is essential nevertheless.

Kalamazoo spends $560K for more dredging; postpones street projects
Brad Devereaux | MLive
February 18, 2020

KALAMAZOO, MI — The city of Kalamazoo will spend an additional $560,768.50 for dredging meant to alleviate flooding following heavy rain events. The Kalamazoo City Commission approved the additional cost at its Feb. 17 meeting...

...The excess cost of the project was not included in the 2020 capital improvement plan, the city said, and funding will be made available through the following sources:
  • $280,000: Local Streets 2020 Capital Improvement Projects from the deferment of the following streets projects: Weaver, Fulford, Broadway, and James
  • $150,000: The reallocation of funds from excess available grant funds
  • $130,769: Major Streets 2019 Capital Improvement Projects from project funds

The street projects mentioned needed to be postponed for construction sequencing or lead service line replacements, Kalamazoo Department of Public Services Director James Baker said. Funding will be re-appropriated once city staff aligns the construction schedules, Baker said. The project schedule allowed for the funding transfers, he said...
Here are some photos from last May (more at the source link) -

Flood Control in Texas Township

Texas Township has also had some struggles with flooding, around the several lakes that are loaded with upscale residential development. Recently, the Township conducted a study to determine legal lake levels. This study will inform the proposed long-term solution to alleviate flooding, which includes plans to build a horizontal well and drainage system. This would be paid for through a special assessment district. According to MLive,

Quote:
"...Texas Township would pay 15% of the cost, the drain commission would pay 10%, the county would pay 10% and property owners in the area would be responsible for the remaining 65%. An assessment on each of those properties would be based on both the cost incurred and benefit derived, according to the task force’s October presentation..."
This is clearly a big problem, and the numerous photos at the MLive link are compelling. I can't help but feel that residents, developers, and planners brought this upon themselves, although it doesn't change the fact that a solution should be sought.

Quote:
Flooding solution moves forward for township near Kalamazoo
Lindsay Moore | MLiveFebruary 18, 2020

KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI -- A study to determine legal lake levels for the flooded lakes in Texas Township was unanimously approved by Kalamazoo County Commissioners Tuesday night. Texas Township’s long-term flooding solution hinges on setting legal lake levels for both Eagle and Crooked lakes. To get the process moving, support was needed from 66% of homeowners on each lake. The petitions came back with 72% of homeowners on Eagle Lake and 67% of homeowners on Crooked Lake signing in support...

Cork Street Redesign

The City of Kalamazoo is starting work in March to reconfigure Cork Street from west of Lovers Lane to Sprinkle Avenue. The work will take most of 2020 and will be a "road diet". 4 traffic lanes (2 in each direction) will be converted to 1 lane in each direction with a dedicated center left turn lane and dedicated bike lanes on both sides (similar to what has been done on portions of Portage Road recently). There will also be infrastructure / utility upgrades.

Quote:
35-week project will rebuild Cork Street, add bike lanes, and more for $6.5M
Brad Devereaux | MLive
February 19, 2020

KALAMAZOO, MI — Traffic will be disrupted on Cork Street for construction work scheduled through November that will result in a completely redesigned and rebuilt road and other improvements, the city of Kalamazoo reports...The work is kicking off a $6.5 million project that is scheduled to last through most of 2020, with substantial completion scheduled for November, Public Services Director James Baker said. Some additional restoration work is scheduled for 2021...

KPS Transportation Facility

This is kind of infrastructure-related too. Construction progress continues on a new transportation center to serve Kalamazoo Public Schools. This is one part of the many projects funded by the largest public bond ever passed in the district's history. I think the location for it on Ravine Road is rather bizarre. It is northwest of the city center in a pretty remote area and surrounded by industry and gravel pits. But I guess the land was cheap. I would have rather seen this be an infill project closer to the city center, and where it could be accessed by pedestrians or cyclists (to encourage alternative transportation methods for staff / bus drivers).

Affordable Housing in Portage

Here's an article about the oft-overlooked problem of affordable / equitable housing in the more affluent city of Portage. Poverty and homelessness / home instability is still an issue here. The article discusses Portage's new affordable housing project off Centre Avenue, named Selinon Park. It also mentions the new FedEx distribution facility, which is under construction on Portage Road, near-ish the airport.

"There are a lot of nights I have spent crying myself to sleep," Powers said. The tears come from constantly worrying about money. Powers and her son moved home to Portage from Florida. She said she escaped an abusive relationship, and returned to the city to be close to family...
Bronson Health New Ambulatory Surgery Center

In addition to its seven new primary care facilities going up around the county, Bronson is moving forward with plans for a new ambulatory / outpatient orthopedic surgery center in Texas Township. The facility will be about 18,000 SF and is expected to break ground in the Spring. It will be immediately adjacent to the new primary care facility being constructed near the northeast intersection of I-94 and 9th Street in Texas Township (off of Beatrice Dr). According to the press release, "Over the last five years, the number of surgeries performed at the hospital has increased 15%." It will cost about $21 million, and it will contain four operating rooms.

New Chick-fil-A

It's official. Work on the new Chick-fil-A is actually starting. Demolition is proceeding for two properties on the northeast corner of West Main and Drake. It sounds like the big delay ended up being more related to the city's hang-ups over the business' religious / political discriminatory policies than anything to do with curb cuts or driveway access. But now we can thankfully all move on and soon we will be eating more chicken.

Natural Flavors Expansion

This is a little old (I think the project wrapped up over a year ago), but I never shared photos. "Natural Flavors" is the name of a fairly large, local company that produces extracts used in food flavoring. It greatly expanded its existing facility recently. Tower Pinkster was the local architect, and recently posted some completed photos on LinkedIn.

Stryker Nears Top of Best Places to Work Nationally

If rankings matter to you, Stryker was recently voted the #8 (out of 100) best places to work for in the entire country - not bad for the home team! That is up 3 spots from last year. It is the only company based in Kalamazoo / West Michigan to make the list, and only three other Michigan-based companies made the list -

  • Quicken Loans, Detroit - #29

Aerial Views

I flew in to Kalamazoo International Airport yesterday for the first time (normally, I fly out Detroit or Grand Rapids, but KZO had remarkably competitive prices for whatever reason this time). It turns out that the flight path yields some great aerial views of the city. You come in low, and circle the entire urban center before landing. The sun was low in the sky (it was late afternoon) and the window was scratched and smudged, but I still took some photos. I'll remember next time to try to schedule a flight for a better time of day, if it works out, so I can get clearer photos.

Coming in from the west, you can see I-94 to the far right, Stadium Drive just left of center, and US-131 connecting them (middle of the image, semi-horizontally). Downtown is toward the upper-left.


Similar to the other view, still approaching from the west. You get a better look at US-131 and Stadium Drive. You can also make out the Amtrak train tracks, bottom left corner and winding up (east-bound).


Here we have circled downtown, and are now looking west, while preparing for a landing approach from the north. Unfortunately the sun was right in my lens so I could not get a great shot. But you can clearly make out the Kalamazoo River and E. Michigan Ave. (and the railway bridge above it). If you squint, you can see the downtown skyline. Pretty neat


Cuius Amicus (man's best friend)

And this is my dog, wondering what the heck I'm doing for so long glued to a computer screen. Alas, he's given up on me. But I hope you enjoyed this update as much as I enjoyed compiling it.

I've been looking (for renderings), but have found nothing yet, which surpises me.

There really has not been a lot of news on what will happen to the current building yet. There was apparently some deal set up where Plazacorp would take over once the county moved out, but I have heard nothing else on that in over a year, which means that some things are probably happening behind-the-scenes that the public is out of the loop on. Plazacorp has been pretty quite in general lately. A deed restriction on the current courthouse property might require the building to remain at least in-part dedicated to the public realm. No updates publicly on how / if Plazacorp is trying to get around that one.

This MLive article (updated over 1 year ago) explains things a little. As far as I know, there has not been much of an update beyond this.

I'm disappointed by the lack of ground floor retail, but this is a great development for downtown Battle Creek nonetheless:

$20.6M affordable housing project planned for downtown Battle Creek

Quote:
Two new housing development projects are in the works for downtown Battle Creek.

Hollander Development Corporation is collaborating with Battle Creek Unlimited on a $20.6 million project to redevelop two properties in the heart of downtown as affordable housing.

The project would transform 85 W. Michigan Ave., the former site of Shrank's Cafeteria, into a 50-unit, seven-story midrise apartment building called Sophia Square.

The other development would rehabilitate 17 W. Michigan Ave, formerly the Hamblin Opera House, and adapt the building's upper floors into 30 new apartments.

At long last, there is FINALLY a rendering made available to the public for the new downtown county courthouse facility.

The project is officially referred to as the Downtown Justice Facility. And it looks amazing. They call this the "Tower Pinkster / HOK" design, although I don't know why this distinction, because I don't think there ever were alternative designs by other firms. Local A&E firm Tower Pinkster and international super-firm HOK have partnered a lot in the past for other other local projects, including Stryker Instruments New Divisional Facility in Portage and the Accident Fund Insurance Company in Lansing.

And right on its heels, news yesterday that North Rose Street will be closing for a few months for construction of a new pedestrian bridge, which will connect the new Hilton Garden Inn & Home2 Suites with the existing Arcadia Parking Ramp. I have not seen a rendering for this, apart from what was hinted at in the earlier Hilton Hotel(s) renderings.

Shuttered Battle Creek cereal plant to get new life, could be used for housing
Nick Buckley | Battle Creek Enquirer
April 20, 2020

On the banks of the concrete-lined Kalamazoo River, a former Battle Creek cereal plant is getting new life. New Mill Capital, a national asset disposition firm that specializes in redeveloping closed manufacturing plants, purchased the 450,000 square-foot facility at 150 S. McCamly St. in February. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The shuttered plant once employed hundreds workers for the Ralston Purina Co., who made Chex as well as private label cereals and dog food. It was last used by TreeHouse Foods, which closed the facility in 2018. New Mill Capital is in the early stages of determining how the site will be redeveloped, but said it will likely include a mix of multi-family housing, warehousing and light manufacturing...

A $4 million specialized recycling center is proposed in Kalamazoo Township, according to partners in the project.

WHAT is that skywalk? That's going to destroy the look of the facade of the Rose street market building. Is it connecting to a parking garage? Why on earth would they allow that? Can people not walk on the sidewalk for 30 seconds?
