- From that MLive story:
- “The city’s Planning Commission voted unanimously Tuesday, April 7, to OK the updated plans presented by developer Heidi Poscher of 4M, who said she’s still committed to making the project happen despite financial challenges. That includes filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January for tens of millions of dollars owed to creditors.”
- “It was noted during Tuesday’s discussion the developer has unpaid taxes on the property that are past due, including $126,653 from last July and $35,057 from December.”
- “A dispute with a former project architect also resulted in a lien against the property last year.”, with a link to this story: https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2025/12/challenges-surround-southtown-development-in-ann-arbor-as-demolition-begins.html
