Contamination Concerns Delay Chelsea's 92-Unit Affordable Housing Project
NATURAL GAS
A proposed 92-unit affordable housing project in Chelsea, Michigan, is delayed due to potential methane contamination from a former dump site. Developers Spire Development are conducting tests to address these concerns, as the Michigan State Housing Development Authority has denied funding due to insufficient environmental review data. The project aims to serve households earning 30-80% of the area median income, while the city is also exploring additional affordable housing initiatives.
