The City of Howell has received some interest in a vacant property on West Grand River that was originally being eyed for a new U.S. Post Office.
The City owns several properties downtown but one of the largest vacant properties is the land adjacent to the existing fire station that totals roughly 6-acres. It is directly adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods so the City has been looking to partner with a developer on a project that can work collaboratively with the surrounding neighborhood. After the Post Office abandoned the project due to public outcry, Council agreed it would be beneficial to market the property and a request for proposals was put out.
