Arbor South brownfield hearing

Called the $320M TIF a 'reverse Robin Hood' that drains money from schools, parks, roads, and affordable housing millages to benefit a wealthy-area developer.

Called it the largest and most contrived brownfield in county history — environmental costs under 1%, 56% capture, and 2,600 parking spaces in a transit corridor.

Supported redeveloping the long-vacant parking corridor, liking the mix of housing, retail, and walkability.

Said the project takes tax money from the people to give to the rich and urged the board to table it until full contamination testing is done.

Followed up on testing: the fire bureau may compel an assessment, and the capture equals 92% of the documented $406M private investment.
