This week SB 556, a bill to extend the sunset of the Commercial Rehabilitation Act from December of this year to 2020, was signed by Governor Snyder! This act has been used in communities across the state to assist in eradicating blight and putting properties back to productive use.

Thank you to Sen. Horn for being such a great advocate on this issue and keeping a valuable local tool that assists our communities in blight control and economic development.
