brownfield plan  
By Iron Mountain Daily  
News staff  
The project, involving more  
than 282 acres in the city and  
township, would help retain  
27 full-time jobs and create  
22 to 34 more, according to  
Storie Co.  
Mayor Dale Alessandrini  
said he’s concerned the city  
is surrendering too much in  
potential tax revenues, but he  
acknowledged the project’s  
tourism and community ben-  
efits. “It’s damned if we do or  
damned if we don’t,” he said.  
Council member Kyle  
Blomquist asked if a signif-  
icant amount of the work  
might “fall off,” resulting in  
fewer general benefits than  
anticipated.

IRON MOUNTAIN — An  
Indiana company awaits local  
approval of a brownfield plan  
to assist its proposed $25.5  
million expansion and rede-  
velopment of Pine Mountain  
Resort.  
The project includes con-  
struction of 35 new cabins,  
a mountain bike pump track,  
sledding hills, walking and  
biking trails and a community  
green space.  
Representatives of Storie  
Co. of Indianapolis met last  
week with members of Iron

itung Township Board and  
Dickinson County Brown-  
field Redevelopment Author-  
ity to offer details on the plan,  
which was first discussed  
in October. The council  
agreed Monday to potential-  
ly endorse the plan March 6,  
though it still has questions.  
If the city and township con-  
cur, final approval rests with  
the Dickinson County Board  
of Commissioners, which  
would have a public hearing,  
City Manager Jordan Stanchi-

ity involves the demolition  
of old maintenance buildings

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING  
Tuesday, March 14, 2023 | 01:00 PM | Centennial Room  
Michigan State Police Headquarters,  
7150 Harris Drive, Dimondale, MI 48221  
The Department of State Police will hold a public hearing to  
receive public comments on proposed changes to the Tests for  
Breath Alcohol rule set.  
The proposed rules are changes to existing rules that have  
accompanied the current evidential breath alcohol test  
instrument since the adoption, purchase, and installation  
of those instruments. The State of Michigan is purchasing  
new instruments with additional technology, features, and  
expanded capabilities and will need to amend the existing  
rules to accommodate both the technology and new features.  
The amendments to the rules also apply to training users and  
technicians on the operation of the new instrument.
