TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., April 2, 2024 — Late last month, state Rep. Betsy Coffia (D-Traverse City) welcomed the new chair of the House Economic Development and Small Business Housing Subcommittee, state Rep. Kristian Grant (D-Grand Rapids), to Traverse City to discuss Northern Michigan’s housing needs. After the visit, Coffia issued the following statement:
“I am grateful to Chair Grant for taking the time to visit our region and learn about our unique challenges when it comes to increasing our housing stock. I’m excited to continue bringing housing advocates from our region into direct conversation with Chair Grant in the coming weeks and months, as well as advocating in the Legislature to bring a Northern Michigan perspective to much-needed policy reforms that will promote access to housing for people of all walks of life and financial resources across our state.”
