THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The City approved a six‑month SmartZone lease with GateHouse Media Michigan Holdings, Inc. for office/work space at the SmartZone, at rates set in the City’s fee schedule. While the lease is short term, GateHouse will be operating from this hub alongside other tenants. This gives B2B service providers, IT and marketing firms, and facility vendors a clear contact and timeline to offer services to GateHouse and to SmartZone management for tenant‑focused offerings.
Lease uses the Commission‑adopted SmartZone rental rate schedule; part of broader SmartZone occupancy.
