Calumet space to become business and apartments

CALUMET, MI— A vacant, historic building in Calumet is being revamped to create business and living spaces.

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation is giving the city a $324,000 performance-based grant through the Michigan Community Revitalization Program.

Around 2,800 square feet in the building will be restored. When completed, the project will include commercial space that will be leased to Frozen Farms, a locally owned cooperative meat market. The second story will contain two residential apartments.

The Calumet Downtown Development Authority is contributing $5,000 toward project costs.
