Apartment project will not receive state funding support

A proposed apartment development project in Sturgis hoping to receive state financial support has hit a road block.

Sturgis City Manager Andrew Kuk last week told city commission members the state did not provide the company behind the project funding for the proposed St. Joseph Street Lofts.

The high-density apartment complex, at 303 St. Joseph St., is the former Paramount Furniture Co. site.

The property, vacant since 1996, is owned by the city’s economic development corporation. Spire Development proposed constructing a three-story building with 50 apartments: 12 one-bedroom units, 25 two-bedroom units and 14 three-bedroom units.

Spire sought funding through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for the project.
