TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) -- Similar names for two very different development projects in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula created a bit of confusion.
So the project called The Village at Grand Traverse LLC that includes a planned Meijer Inc. store in Grand Traverse County's Acme Township is changing its name.
The Village at Grand Traverse Commons Development LLC, which is redeveloping a historic former state hospital site in Traverse City, will keep its name.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/IbFpgn) both groups organized in 2003. Raymond Minervini II, a partner in the hospital site project, says anything that leads to such confusion "is problematic."
Steve Smith, a principal in the Acme Township project, says he wasn't aware until recently of the name issue. He says agreeing to the change was the fair thing to do.
