KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – More affordable housing is coming to Kalamazoo.
Despite the bitterly cold temperatures, a crowd of about 150 local officials, builders and community members turned out Friday afternoon for the groundbreaking of Zone 32 on Frank Street.
Developer Jamari Bogen says he hopes it will be the first of many in the area. The project will combine residential and commercial space, with 14 affordable housing units and a child care center operated by the YMCA.

It’s one of the many projects that are jointly being built by local developers with assistance and some financing from non-profit and governmental agencies, as well as the Kalamazoo County housing fund.
