At last week’s Sanilac County meeting, commissioners approved a major housing redevelopment plan in Brown City, despite one commissioner’s objection. The project by Maple Valley Estates LLC will transform nearly 13 acres on Maple Valley Road into 70 new homes, half for sale and half for rent, including 11 income-restricted units. Construction is set to begin in summer of ’28. Meanwhile, the county also ended the contract of Parks Director Vincent Micallef, just two months after his hiring, with no clear explanation given.
