(Michigan City, IN) - Another step forward has been taken on a major housing/grocery store development planned in Michigan City.
An economic development agreement with a Chicago based developer has been approved by the city’s Redevelopment Commission. More than 500 multi-story housing units along with a grocery store, other retail space and parking are planned at 5th and Pine streets on the city’s north end. Antoine Rezco with the development group, DAC, told the redevelopment commission Thursday the plan is for all of the construction to occur in three separate phases.
The second phase calls for nearly 300 housing units in a nine story structure that includes plenty of parking and a grocery store. He said a letter of intent has been signed by Tony’s Fresh Market based in Chicago to occupy the grocery store.
Construction could begin late next year or sometime in 2027. The agreement makes the developer eligible to apply for additional grants and other financial incentives, officials said.
