Portage breaks grown on workforce housing development
PORTAGE, Mich. (WOOD) — Ground was broken Thursday on a new workforce housing development in Portage, the only project of its kind in the city.
The $18.7 million Stanwood Crossings development is along Portage Road south of Lakeview Park.
'This housing development is a statement about our values as a city,' Mayor Patricia Randall said in a Friday statement. 'Stanwood Crossings helps ensure that hardworking individuals and families can live and thrive in the community they serve.'
Construction on the first four homes should start this summer. The city says when the development is finished, it will include 42 single-family homes with either two or three bedrooms. They will specifically be for workforce families that make between 80% and 120% of the area median income.
The project is supported by $3 million from the Kalamazoo County Homes for All Grant, $1 million in Congressional Community Project Funding, $1 million from the Portage Capital Improvement Program and $500,000 in American Rescue Plan Act dollars granted by the county. There will also be $100,000 for down payment assistant through Kalamazoo County Homes for All. A Brownfield tax program could allow as much as $3.16 million in reimbursements over the next 25 years.

Storm Team 3: Sunshine continues for the first day of Meteorological Summer and Hurricane Season
Happy Meteorological Summer and Happy *or not* Hurricane Season! We are once again going to be seeing nice and comfortable weather to end your weekend this Sunday. A hazy sky continues due to Canadian Wildfire smoke, but we're not expecting this to affect our air quality drastically, since it stays high in our atmosphere. Highs stay in the mid to upper 80s along with comfortable humidity levels. Highs along with moisture increase a little bit more for the start of your work week. We'll be closer to the low 90s for Monday and Tuesday along with a mix of sun and clouds. Moisture continues to increase into Wednesday and the end of the week. This is thanks to a cold front that develops to our west and begins to slowly make its way closer to our region. This allows for the chance of isolated rain and storms for Wednesday until the end of the week when it moves through. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

ROSEN, TOP RANKED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Compass Diversified Holdings Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action First Filed by the Firm- CODI
NEW YORK, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI) between May 1, 2024, and May 7, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important July 8, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm. SO WHAT: If you purchased Compass securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Compass class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 8, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Compass's subsidiary, Lugano Holdings, Inc., maintained unrecorded financing arrangements and irregularities in its sales, cost of sales, inventory, and accounts receivable; (2) the irregularities and undisclosed details in Lugano Holdings, Inc.'s financial statements rendered the financial statements of Compass as a whole unreliable, and would require restatement; (3) Compass failed to maintain adequate internal controls related to its financial statements; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Compass class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising.
