$16M Seniors Housing Development [[Ground Broken)

[Kevgoblue]

I see it was a joint effort between the state [[Wayne Co contributed $1M) and Hartford Baptist Church.

Wondering if there is a conflict in that collaboration. Will this development be required to pay taxes, since they are affiliated with the church? How will occupancy be determined? Will these units be giving priority to church members? If so, is this fair to taxpayers who attend a different church or none at all?

Its affiliated with the Presbyterian Villages of Michigan, and is "open to members of all faiths." This seems to be the 8th PVM development in the city, so I suppose people are familiar with some of the other locations.
