About this grant
This grant will provide a 50-year land lease to the Foundation for the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation to facilitate the redevelopment of several buildings in a critical block on the east side of South Saginaw Street in downtown Flint. The vacant and unused buildings between the Mott Foundation Building and Second Street will be redeveloped through a public-private partnership for office, retail, and residential loft purposes. The Foundation for the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation will make the land available to its supported organization, the Uptown Reinvestment Corporation, which intends to redevelop the leased parcels.
