Good morning, Battle Creek.

TerrAscend Corp. announced it will close its 20 Michigan dispensaries and four cultivation and processing facilities (resulting in 236 layoffs at locations in Kalamazoo, Lansing, and Battle Creek).

The company said it will focus its resources on operations in New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

Police responded to an overnight shooting on South 22nd Street in Battle Creek just after 2 a.m. Wednesday and found a 31-year-old man with a gunshot wound who later died at the hospital—detectives arrested a 36-year-old man involved in a heated argument over another person.

The Calhoun County Land Bank Authority broke ground on two new two-bedroom homes at 82 and 126 Greenwood Ave in Battle Creek that will be available for sale to buyers earning 60% or less of the Area Median Income.

Construction is expected to be completed later this year—continuing the effort to transform vacant lots into affordable homes for local families.
