"The office of the City Planning Commission (CPC) has received an application requesting a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) certificate for the construction of a new 10-unit rental apartment building at 1530 Bagley Avenue. The developer will also be applying for a brownfield TIF.... The subject property has been confirmed as being within the boundaries of the Corktown NEZ which was established by City Council in October 1994 and should be eligible for NEZ certificate under the State NEZ Act (Act 147 of 1992). The petitioner submitted the NEZ certificate application dated September 13, 2024, to the City Clerk’s office, and the building permit has not yet been issued. Therefore, it appears the NEZ certificate application has been submitted prior to the issuance of applicable building permits – the NEZ Act (Act 147 of 1992) states the applications must be filed before a building permit is issued. CPC staff have reviewed the application and recommends approval."
