Buick City Site Development To Create Thousands of Jobs

A possible development for the Flint’s former Buick City site could be a game changer for the city, potentially creating thousands of jobs. Real estate developer Ashely Capital has the site under contract. The $300 million construction plans are dependent on financing environmental remediation for the site. The funding gap is $15-$20 million. The city of Flint is working with the state and county to come up with the needed funding. If the deal is finalized, construction could start as early as next year.
