What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Michigan State Housing Development Authority informed Mason County that the current bidding documents are difficult for contractors to use for housing projects. Mason County is managing three grants: the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Housing Improving Local Livability (CHILL) 2.0, and MI Neighborhood (MIN) 1.0. Mason County Administrator Kaitlyn Szczypka stated that the lack of local contractors is a major issue, causing the county to question the program's viability.
