3/1/13 - Aisin Holdings of America owns about 800 acres in Handy, which are zoned for research and development to accommodate the companyâs test track and proving grounds. It recently purchased another 80 acres of farmland on the eastern edge of its property which are zoned for agricultural and residential uses. Township Zoning Administrator Bill Call says the land was up for sale at a low price, and the company has no stated goals for the property. Aisin requested rezoning the parcel for R&D, and Call tells WHMI the planning commission had no reason to deny the request. He adds that Aisin has been a model corporate citizen since it entered the township in 2003. The request will now go to the county department for review and the Handy Township Board for approval.
