West Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees Denies Controversial Proposal

The West Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees has denied the controversial proposal to rezone a location known as The Corners property from single-family residential status to a planned development district. The property is located at 2075 Walnut Lake Road on the site of the former Walnut Lake Elementary. The school closed in the mid 90s and was transformed into a multipurpose building. The proposal to rezone met with opposition because it includes a baseball diamond, a playfield and mature trees. The proposal would have enabled the property to be redeveloped into a 101-unit townhome community.
