The University of Michigan is close to acquiring a vacant 1.45-acre parcel of land in Scio Township and, according to university documents, U-M Hospital and Health Centers’ resources will be used to complete the purchase.
A proposal was made to the Board of Regents to buy the 1.45-acre parcel at 380 Parkland Plaza for $108,000.
“The additional acreage will allow for more efficient development of the university’s currently owned parcel,” the document said. “The parcel will provide street visibility for any future structures and allow for signage on the main entrance drive.”
University officials did not comment on what kind of medical facility could be built on the site. U-M also owns an adjacent 2.4-acre parcel of land located on Little Lake Drive that was donated to the university in December 2010.
A tentative closing date has been set for Aug. 29, 2014. The site is also subject to environmental testing before the sale.
