Under Ordinance #2019-05, the Dexter acknowledged that Avalon Housing, Inc. (Avalon) has offered to construct, own and operate a housing project identified as Hilltop View Apartments on the Property to serve qualifying lower income persons and families, and that Avalon or an affiliated entity has offered to pay Dexter on account of this housing project an annual service charge for public services, in lieu of all ad valorem property taxes. Dexter acknowledges that it is a proper public purpose of the State of Michigan and its political subdivisions to provide housing for its lower-income persons and families and to encourage the development of such housing by collaborating with service organizations.
The Property is not a part of a park or cemetery, and Dexter conducted a public hearing, as required under Section 2-154(b) of the Dexter Ordinances. Dexter and Avalon entered in to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated February 1, 2019, for the sale of the Property by Dexter to Avalon (the Agreement). Dexter now desires to close on the sale of the Property to Avalon Housing, Inc. (or its assignee, upon a valid assignment under the Agreement).
