Pontiac weighs competing development proposals for downtown

metromode, 9/25/2008

Downtown Pontiac has a big development in its cross hairs. The city's Downtown Development Authority is choosing between two development proposals for the Lot 9 property. The parcel is currently a parking lot on the northeast corner of Saginaw and Pike streets.

Although details on the competing projects are scarce, they both have similar characteristics. Both developments call for building mixed-use structures, combining retail and residential space. Both projects are urban in design, meant to complement the surrounding historic building stock.

The DDA was set to make a decision Wednesday night, after this story has gone to print.
