State Rep. Steve Carra (R-Three Rivers) is calling on Attorney General Dana Nessel to go to court to stop the planned destruction of a neighborhood at the Mundy Megasite near Flint.

Carra, who serves as chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Corporate Subsidies and State Investments, visited the Maple Creek Preserve community on Saturday, March 28 to speak with residents and see the demolition prep firsthand after he received a tip that the homes are slated to be destroyed. He then issued the following statement:

“Michigan has a housing shortage. Spending taxpayer dollars to purchase and demolish perfectly good houses for a project that may never materialize is foolish. If this plan moves forward, the damage will be irreversible because once the homes are gone, they are gone. That’s why I’m calling on Attorney General Dana Nessel to file an emergency motion for a preliminary injunction to stop the destruction of these houses before it’s too late.”
