By Steve L. Onore Jul 2010

The Flint Planning Commission June 8 approved site plans for a building for the Michigan Department of Human Services at the south end of Hallwood Plaza behind Citizens Bank on Clio Road.

Architect Francis Boji said the 41,000 square-foot building will have a parking lot for 200 vehicles that will be fenced and gated. Employees will use a card to enter. Wood benches will be put near the parking lot with a pond at the back.

Boji said that the sanitary areas had to be rerouted and plumbing and electrical items had to be added.

The building is leased to the state.

The group will meet next at 6 p.m. July 13, July 27 and Aug. 10 in the City Council Chambers of City Hall, 1101 S. Saginaw St. Call (810) 766-7355 for details.
