Section 4: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

The property at 1115 Center Street is a wholesale warehouse facility with no retail storefront, no customer traffic, and no participation in any retail activity. Despite 

this, it continues to be assessed annually under the Principal Shopping District (PSD) special assessment, which is expressly intended to fund improvements that 

enhance retail visibility, pedestrian traffic, and consumer experience. This property receives no measurable or direct benefit from those improvements. It is 

surrounded by industrial operations and persistent security issues that remain unaddressed by the PSD. After years of written protests and participation in public 

hearings with no acknowledgment or relief, the owners are appealing to the Michigan Tax Tribunal to correct this inequitable assessment and remove this property 

from future PSD assessment rolls.

Section 5: Jurisdictional Issues

Did you protest the special assessment at the hearing held to confirm the special assessment roll? Yes

If Yes, what was the date of the hearing held to confirm the special assessment roll?

9/22/25

If No, explain:
