State Working Out Federal Blight Funding Details

The small community of about 5,300 people is among a dozen awaiting a decision by state housing officials on how much of $75 million in federal funds will be steered its ways for demolitions. An answer will come next month from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, which is doling out the money as part of the state's blight elimination strategy. Brown said much of Ironwood's housing stock was built in the early 1900s when the area's iron ore mines ran full bore. The cities were selected by the state through an evaluation system that included residential housing vacancy rates. Officials are working out the final details on which cities would receive how much, said Katie Bach, state housing development authority spokeswoman.
