6/12/13 - A public hearing has been scheduled as the Handy Township Board considers redesignating a parcel of land to make it contiguous with the corporate property around it. Aisin Holdings of America recently acquired an 80-acre plot near its main facility, which the township recently rezoned from agricultural to research and development. Company representatives say they purchased the land simply because it was up for sale at a low price, and they have no plans for it at this time. However, the township is considering a request to incorporate the parcel into Aisinâs industrial development district. Township Supervisor Hank Vaupel tells WHMI this is a different process from rezoning and will help encourage development on the parcel by allowing Aisin to apply for tax abatement on any new developments on the property. The public hearing on the proposed redistricting will take place at the Township Boardâs next regular meeting on July 9th. (TD)
