New Podcast Series: BC City Connection – Housing Edition
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — The City of Battle Creek has released the first episode of the BC City Connection: Housing Edition, a new sub‑series of the Battle Creek Community Connection Podcast. This series explores local housing issues, projects, and the decision‑making behind them, helping residents better understand how housing shapes our community.
In this first episode, Planning Supervisor Darcy Schmitt explains how the city is addressing Battle Creek’s housing shortage. She discusses efforts to update the community’s Master Plan, remove barriers to build more quickly, expand mixed‑use zoning, encourage infill housing, and support accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Darcy also highlights how public input, neighborhood councils, and community surveys guide every step—and how residents can get involved.
