Hmm let me see. Uptown is redoing the Dale for Food Health building and baker building, the entire Mott block, the First Street Lofts are finished, the Rowe Building and MTA Station renovation/constructions are ongoing, UM-Flint will break ground on a 21 million 300 bed student housing building, also in Spring the Land Bank will renovate the Durant Hotel for student housing and commercial use. The Berridege is being renovated for 20 market rate 90,000-120,000 condos and for two businesses, which is a five million dollar project. Hmm what else...
I think thats all for now, other than Hurley and the Land Bank are going to completely restore carriage-town and the fifth avenue corridor for Hurley employees and other people. Also the whole third avenue and river restoration project gaining speed. -
Downtown Flint is prepared to growNew business deal means new developments
By Cathy Shafran
FLINT (WJRT) - (09/10/06)--More good news for downtown Flint. There's word on a new business deal that will mean re-development on both sides of Saginaw Street.
The announcement came during an anniversary event for the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Hundreds of business and community leaders gathered together at Whiting Auditorium to celebrate 100 years of business history of the Flint Area Chamber, now known as the Genesee Regional Chamber of commerce.
While detailing it's history, leaders were also able to shed some light on the future of business growth in the area..
Word was unveiled that the Mott Foundation, led by its president Bill White, was deeding all the buildings known as the Mott foundation block - just south of the Mott Foundation Building - to the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation for re-development.
"I'm grateful that they're taking it because they have shown that they have the ability to do something with old buildings," said White.
While not releasing complete details at the Chamber's Gala Centennial Celebration, Herman said development of the Mott Foundation block will mirror development on the west side of Saginaw. The old buildings south of the Mott Foundation building will turn into vital developments once again.
"Over the next year we will start construction on the project of mixed use, retail, residential, office," he said.
Herman says the go-ahead for the Mott Foundation block is coming now because the timing is right.
The development is being backed by Michigan's governor, who made an appearance at the black tie event as well
Details on what's planned for the Mott Foundation block are promised by the end of the year.

Well, the rowe building is supposed to be finished in January, but I'm noy entirely sure they can finish it by then.
-
Yeah I was totally surprised. I really hope, by atleast December, the front and back facade is up for the rowe building tho.
-
Well, I went downtown and what do ya know, the BSC was packed! This shows downtown is beggining to comeback tho, now if those pinche UM-Flint dorms would get started then thingd would really pick-up!
-
LOL I'm sorry tha happened. How did the Rowe Building look?
-
Um, it dosn't matter, as long as it about flint, feel free to post here lol. I'm not to good at describing how to post pics, but do you have them uploaded on something like My Flickr? If so, just take the URL link from there, click the little icon of a tree when you want to post them and insert the URL link. I think atleast..
-
Nevermind, misread ur post, sorry.
-
1,000 alone, wow ur far off. The 10k run was 8,000 and altogether the total runners was 15,400 plus.
-
The 5k run felt great, I can do the 10k next year, sin problemas.
-
Well lol any crim runners ? I'm juss doing the 5k this, kind of outa shape
-
Yeah i know, they both have the best cloths, but I jus feel bad not shopping at flint business's.
-
Shi- tell me about it. I try to buy my cloths and food in Flint, but Aeropostale, American Eagle and places in GB and on Miller Road ruin that. Hopefully downtown will change all that soon.
-
Well I dunno. I mean the First Street Lofts, the Land Bank and even the Rowe are either being pre-leased, almost fully occupied or are at full occupancy. Plus University Park Estates filled up quickly 2.
-
Yeah, now that I think of it... They were talking about opening a second one in the county, I jus hope it dosn't go to Fenton or Grand Blanc and hopefully, it comes downtown.
-
They're converting it into 20 market rate condos and adding 2 business's. They also mentioned adding some affordable housing too.
-
To compete with Miller Road, Downtownn needs a couple of things. It needs to become Genesee County' Center for nightlife and dining spot. I would like to see a Jazz Club, a formal club sort of like Purple Moon, a Latin dance club and a rock/top 40 club. In dining, a Japanese restaurant, an Italian restaurant complete with a wine cellar, more lunch spots and cafes, Plus another BD's Mongolian.
-
Oh ok kewl. Now as soon as we get the Rowe Building finished, the Durant, Berridge, and see that parking lot transformed, downtown going to really start picking up.
-
Its the company thats bringing the steakhouse, brewpub and night club. They own the Redwood Lodge and Bubba O'Malley's.
-
Lets pray so. I dunno, have u been 2 any Blue Collar Gourmet Restaurants, if so how are they?
-
I know, lets just keep our fingers crossed that something like that will match the steakhouse coming to Flint.
-
Well from many sites that I've visited, They have a colorful, Latin atmosphere inside. There is usually live Latin music, dancing and the food look great. Here one of the links I've visited Brazilian Steak House.
I think thats all for now, other than Hurley and the Land Bank are going to completely restore carriage-town and the fifth avenue corridor for Hurley employees and other people. Also the whole third avenue and river restoration project gaining speed.
