HOUGHTON, MI— A long-vacant building in Houghton is getting an upgrade with help from the Michigan Strategic Fund.
Sisu Ventures, LLC plans to renovate a two-story building at 111 Shelden Avenue. When complete, it will have two residential units on the second floor and a retail space on the first floor.
The project is expected to generate a total capital investment of $943,000, supported by a $350,000 Michigan Community Revitalization Program performance-based grant.
City Manager Eric Waara says he’s looking forward to the reactivation of the building and the vibrancy it will bring to the downtown Houghton area.
