MIDLAND, Mich. — The Midland Business Alliance and Three Rivers Corporation are teaming up to help rebuild several homes and businesses in Sanford and Gladwin, after the devastating dam failures and flood of the Tittabawassee River in May.
The project will be organized by the Midland Business Alliance, and Three Rivers Corporation will be the construction manager.
The Midland Business Alliance is one of Chemical City Paper’s Community Partners. Please read our Editorial Independence Policy to see how our sponsors, donors, and advertisers never influence our journalism.
Two businesses in Sanford, Sanford Hardware and the Red Oak Lounge and one business on Wixom Lake, Stryker’s Lakeside Marina, will participate in the project. Funds provided for each rebuild will be in the form of a grant made possible from several foundations in the Midland area, such as the Dow Company Foundation, Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation and The Charles J. Strosacker Foundation. Residential properties may receive up to $100,000 and commercial properties may receive up to $200,000. The total investment for the project is approximately $1 million.
Two homes in Sanford and one home in the Beaverton area will participate in the project, which will include structural work only. (Things like home appliances and erosion control will not be included.) Community leaders in Sanford and Gladwin provided property recommendations for the project.
“The Midland Business Alliance is delighted to work with Three Rivers Corporation, generous funders, and local leaders on this innovative approach to help rebuild communities stricken by the flood,” said Midland Business Alliance President and CEO Tony Stamas. “The process of recovering from this type of disaster is both long and complex. We are making this investment to hasten rebuilding where feasible while also providing the residents of Sanford and Gladwin with a vision for how their respective communities will emerge and be even stronger.”
Long-Term Recovery groups have been established and are providing coordinated case management services to those affected by the flood event. In addition, Midland County Habitat for Humanity and the United Way of Midland County will lead a style of neighborhood revitalization serving up to 20 families by helping to make their homes livable.
“Three Rivers is pleased to participate in this fresh approach to jump start the rebuilding of our community. We anticipate that work will begin in the Sanford area very soon, likely in a few days. Work will commence in the Gladwin area very quickly as well. The message of the project is loud and clear: we have grit and Gladwin and Midland counties will emerge stronger and better than ever,” said Three Rivers Corporation President Jon Lynch. Mr. Lynch is the former City Manager in Midland.
