Existing Firekeepers Hotel Tower, photo courtesy NHPBI FireKeepers Casino Hotel announced plans to construct a second hotel tower at the Battle Creek, Michigan property. The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi, owners of FireKeepers, along with property executives, made the announcement, with the goal of attracting additional trips from gaming guests throughout the Midwest plus generation of new and larger conventions and business meetings and expansion of its retail market. FireKeepers Casino Hotel, located just off the I-94 corridor, connecting Detroit and Chicago, opened its 243-room hotel tower in December of 2012. For the past four consecutive years, the hotel has achieved Four Diamond status by AAA, identifying it among Michigan’s finest hotels. “Today’s announcement is the first step in the process, as we secure architects and constructions management,” stated Jamie Stuck, Chairman of the NHBP Tribal Council. “This is a key step in our Strategic Plan for FireKeepers to provide for future generations of our tribe.” The popularity of FireKeepers hotel has been strong, with occupancy exceeding 95% for the past twelve months. This has made securing a reservation challenging for guests and larger group business. With more rooms and potentially more meeting space, FireKeepers will be able to…

(Story updated 7/25 to include comments from city and developer) The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MHSDA) is awarding federal tax credits for a planned 73 unit apartment development at the site of the former Jackson Citizen Patriot Building. The award, one of 14 statewide developments totaling more than $13.5 million in tax credits, was announced by Executive Director Earl Poleski today. The project developer, General Capital Development, is being awarded $1,497,207 in Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) for the development of Albert Kahn Apartments. “Housing tax credits are a critical resource for developers to leverage when planning to rehabilitate or build new, good quality affordable rental housing in Michigan,” Poleski said. “Without this incentive, we simply would not be able to meet the state’s housing infrastructure demands for those who need it the most.” The planned project includes a new three story building, 73 units of low to moderate income apartments and 4,000 square feet of commercial space. The commercial space would be located in the former lobby and office area of the historic building. "We're excited to see this project move forward with support from these tax credits so that we can continue to infill new housing…
