Michigan Works consolidation in downtown Muskegon to be done by July 1, county officials say

Michigan Works consolidation in downtown Muskegon to be done by July 1, county officials say | MLive.com

The move will bring more than 60 employees into downtown Muskegon and will save the county $1.3 million over the course of a 10-year lease with Kalamazoo-based Hinman Co., which owns the seven-story office building that overlooks Muskegon Lake.
The Muskegon City Commission this week created a Commercial Rehabilitation District for the Terrace Plaza building, which will allow real estate taxes on the facility to be frozen for 10 years as the owner moves forward with $500,000 in improvements.
.....The county currently has contracted for services located in Orchard View schools in Muskegon Township, the Goodwill Industries center in Roosevelt Park and the Oceana County Employment and Training Center in Shelby.
 The county employment and training staff and human resources department are currently located in the county’s Oak Avenue facility.

Wow! 
The county freezes property taxes. 
Will move county employees from another county location to this new one. 
Will leave Orchard View schools, Goodwill and Oceana county with empty buildings. 
And the "move will save $1.3 million dollars…"! 
Certainly you saw the proof and the math before you wrote your piece. 
Can we see it?
