A new housing development will soon be built in the area of 12 Mile and Meadowbrook roads. The city approved a planned rezoning overlay for the Grove, a 232-unit town house development that is meant to focus on the needs of senior citizens, during its regular meeting on Nov. 17. The plan reportedly conserves nature on 47% of the development site. The development will have entrances from both 12 Mile and Meadowbrook. “It’s a very well thought-out plan for the Grove,” said Gary See GROVE on page 12A

ship with a community in Michigan,” City Manager Victor Cardenas said. “It’s like you’re at the school dance and you’re trying to figure out if you want to dance together or not.” Mayor Justin Fischer and Cardenas recently visited the city, which is located within Michigan’s sister state of Shiga, during the Midwest Japan Conference, See JAPAN on page 14A
