Good morning, Ann Arbor. Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 17th of July.

CULTURE NEWS

  • Today, the Ann Arbor Art Fair begins with events running until Saturday—drawing about half a million visitors to downtown blocks filled with art, booths and entertainment while causing road closures and higher parking fees. Locals can also attend quieter events in nearby areas, such as Depot Town Cruise Night in Ypsilanti or the Manchester Chicken Broil, to avoid the crowds.  MLive

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • Residents in Milan Township oppose DTE Energy’s plan to drill a 4,500‑foot test well to study if the soil can store CO₂, fearing the project could worsen local well water shortages. Township Supervisor Mark Bogi said the community has a history of rejecting projects that risk water supply—stressing local concerns—and DTE maintains the well will use safe, proven technology.  ClickOnDetroit.com

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Attorney Noah Hurwitz filed a lawsuit on July 16 on behalf of two taxpayers challenging Ann Arbor’s Aug. 5 ballot proposals for a new library, arguing that the ballot wording misleads voters by promising redevelopment of the Library Lane property while undoing a 2018 charter amendment—designating the property as park land.  MLive
  • On July 15, 2025, Ann Arbor City Council outlined a proposal at a six hour Planning Commission meeting to upzone single-family neighborhoods so developers can build up to three-unit triplexes by right with a three story limit & require review for any added density; officials will soon vote on a resolution to further revise the city’s comprehensive land-use plan.  MLive

LIFESTYLE NEWS

  • At 1824 Cocktails and Coffee in Ann Arbor, a creamy espresso martini with Irish cream and a toasted marshmallow garnish offers a unique twist on the classic cocktail. Named for co-founder Elisha Rumsey, the drink is one of six varieties available and is priced at $13.  MLive

REAL ESTATE NEWS

  • A new affordable housing complex on Ann Arbor’s east side will soon offer 50 units to more than 110 low-income residents and those facing homelessness.
