Research notes

Enabling statute (not preemption) for local TIF-based brownfield financing. Operates as a project-specific contractual overlay that runs alongside MZEA zoning — frequently used in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Flint, Kalamazoo for adaptive reuse. Eligibility flows from facility/functionally-obsolete/blighted property determinations under MCL 125.2652.
