A public hearing on the Brownfield proposal is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 7 prior to the next city council meeting. The properties included are the former city hall, the Bailey Recreation Center, the former fire station 1 and the city-owned Michigan Motor Exchange, all located at Ford and Carlson.
