FLINT TWP. (CCN) — Flint Township has lost another Miller Road Restaurant. BD's Mongolian Grill has closed.
It's the third loss this year for township officials who have already seen Logan's Steakhouse and Telly's Restaurant close their doors after many years as popular spots on Miller Road, near Genesee Valley Mall, for customers all over the Metro Flint regional area to visit.
A number of restaurants have also closed at the Genesee Valley Mall as well as at the old Valley Restaurant at the corner of Miller Road and Miller Road moving to another location in Clayton Township before shutting its doors for good.
.
BD's Mongolian Grill in Dearborn closed earlier this year, too, after many decades in business there. Only two Michigan locations (Sterling Heights and Canton) remain open for the national chain that has two dozens restaurants in the USA.
Initially established in 1992 as BD's Mongolian Barbecue and Grill, Billy Downs launched the chain in Michigan with his first location in Ferndale.
In 2017, BD’s Mongolian Grill became a part of Dallas-based Mongolian Concepts with sister brands Genghis Grill and Flat Top Grill.
Gregg Majewski, former CEO of Jimmy John’s, became the CEO of BD’s Mongolian Grill in 2021 and immediately began to expand BD’s offerings to include exclusive Chef-crafted Signature Stir-Fry bowls, improving the quality of fresh ingredients and even introducing new and unique flavors and sauces into the lineup.

FLINT (CCN) — Ashley Capital has announced its first potential tenant at the old Buick City site in Flint. The Flint City Council gave Ashley Capital millions in cash financing and tax breaks to develop the former site of a General Motors manufacturing campus.
WJRT ABC TV 12 revealed the news, according to a statement by Kevin Hegg who is Vice President of Ashley Capital. He said a contract is expected to be signed soon with a packaging supply business that supports GM plants in the regional area.
"Victory Packaging specializes in very specific high-end design, including engineering for specialized packaging and for this particular case, auto parts that would service the GM plants in and around Flint," Hegg told ABC TV 12 in its report, saying he believes October is when operations will begin at the old Buick City site.
"It's not your typical box-manufactured facility," Hegg added. "This is specialized; It will have design teams on site, as well as other light manufacturing operations and employees."
Hegg said Victory Packaging is expected to enter into a five-year contract in a building Ashley has had completed for six months. Victory Packaging is an affiliate of a larger company called West Rock.
Hegg told ABC TV 12 that he expects more announcements are coming, saying, "We've had a good level of activity. We continue to talk with other prospects, and we continue to plan for other buildings." He said companies specializing in possible Green Energy initiatives may be next.
MUNDY TWP. (CCN) — Since the late May announcement by Mundy Township Manager Chad Young, excitement has been building about a potential Cotsco store coming to Hill Road, near the U.S. 23 Expressway. Signs went up this past weekend to signal that the idea is happening.

MUNDY TWP. (CCN) — Since the late May announcement by Mundy Township Manager Chad Young, excitement has been building about a potential Cotsco store coming to Hill Road, near the U.S. 23 Expressway. Signs went up this past weekend to signal that the idea is happening.
MLive / The Flint Journal was unable to confirm anything from Cotsco after news broke in public about the potential development in late May at a meeting of the Mundy Township Board of Trustees.
Young said at the time: “I think the single cliche phrase you can use is ‘excitement’ but from the township perspective and the county as a whole, the bigger picture here is it represents really a lot of hard work and planning that’s gone into years of staff and board dedication from the township to see Hill Road flourish,. We are the definition of a mixed-use community. We’re approximately 35 square miles, and our historic legacy is agricultural and residential. Hill Road is our commercial heart. It’s our commercial corridor. It’s where we want to really see the bulk of our commercial investment to provide the amenities for our residents, but also keep them concentrated and protect those other uses. So, being able to have what is the definition of a business community partner like Costco that’s a nationally recognized brand for all the right reasons come to and anchor that Hill Road corridor from a commercial perspective really ensures that we’re benefiting from the best of all worlds.”
Young announced then also that an application for a planned development project between Costco and LaFontaine Auto Group was received by the township officials in late March to facilitate the construction of a future wholesale store location with two proposed dealerships. Cotsco's wholesale store was proposed for a 30-acre to 35-acre portion of property owned by LaFontaine on a 120-acre site. Ford and Lincoln dealerships would serve as the face of the property nearest to Hill Road on the north side. Costco would be positioned on U.S. 23 frontage as part of a business park that will eventually include other projects, according to LaFontaine's application.
Cotsco is a world-wide company. There are 591 wholesale stores across the USA with 134 warehouses in California. Canada has 107 more stores while there are 40 in Mexico and 121 more in 11 other countries.
The chain of membership-only warehouse clubs sells a wide variety of brand-name products at lower prices than traditional retailers. Costco is known for selling products in bulk packaging with larger quantities

LANSING (CCN) — Both chambers of Michigan's State Legislature have now approved a proposal by the Michigan Strategic Fund to fund a $250 million project by the Flint Genesee Group — a Flint-based non-profit organization headed by CEO Tim Herman.

LANSING (CCN) — Both chambers of Michigan's State Legislature have now approved a proposal by the Michigan Strategic Fund to fund a $250 million project by the Flint Genesee Group — a Flint-based non-profit organization headed by CEO Tim Herman.
The Flint Genesee's Group's Flint Genesee Economic Alliance wants to attract developers for manufacturing plants at a Mega Site in Mundy Township on a 1,200-acre location bordering Linden Road, Jennings Road, Elms Road and Maple Road.
The House Appropriations Committee sent the funding bill to the floor of the State House of Representatives last week and the State Senate's Appropriations Committee did the same thing on Wednesday night. Both full chambers eventually approved the plan by Herman's organization. He had already been given more than$10 million in two earlier moves by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and all that remains for another $250 million is approval of Governor Gretchen Whitmer's proposed state budget.
The state budget needs to be approved by July 1.
The process is for both chambers of the State Legislature to approve the budget before it then goes to the governor for her signature.
