White House Action Could Impact Federal Funding for Battle Creek
Battle Creek and five other Michigan cities could lose federal support if the White House gets its way. Right now, the federal government threshold for metropolitan areas is a population of 50,000. But the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) wants to double that to 100,000.
A bipartisan bill in Congress from Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) and Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) would stop that move in its tracks, for now, keeping funding formulas intact for cities like Battle Creek while the potential impact can be studied.
A release from Senator Peters’ office said communities in Michigan and across the United States count on this designation for federal funding that goes towards important programs. The proposal could threaten access to vital federal resources for nearly 150 communities across the country, including six in Michigan.

As the fight over demolition costs of an historic downtown building continues, the price for the owner is falling – slightly.
The City of Battle Creek is seeking payment from Bryant DeBolt for demolition costs of the Binder Building.
The 120-year-old, six-story sandstone tower at 34 W. Michigan Ave. was demolished in December after the city determined it might collapse and was a danger.
It was declared a nuisance and after a hearing, Calhoun County Circuit Court Judge Sarah Lincoln permitted the city to proceed with demolition.
The city is now seeking payment from DeBolt for the costs of removing the tower and making some repairs to the remaining structure, which DeBolt has owned since 1987 and is using it for storage.
