EP008 Historic Districts and the Pros & Cons of investing in them with Suzanne Schulz

Today I talk with Suzanne Schulz, the Planning Director for the city of Grand Rapids, to discuss this question. We'll also learn more about historic districts, their purpose, and the proposed legislation in Michigan that could end them all together.
