Main Street Main Street developments

The former Dairy Queen and C-Town Creamery at 5890 S. Main Street in Independence Township will soon be back up and running as Bunk House Burgers.

Also, the Clarkston Planning Commission recently received a letter indicating interest in the former antique store at 21 N. Main in the city Historic District.
Ideas for the building include offering offices and conference room to businesses to rent by the hour, day, or other short-term periods. The second floor would be used as a short-term apartment.
The planning commission will research how city ordinaces address short-term leases and how it would affect parking, said Chair Rich Little.

Parking revenue

Clarkston collected a net revenue of $3,181 in November at its Washington and Main parking lot, with a total of 1,764 vehicles paying to park.
Use of the Passport phone app has been gradually increasing every month; in November, 8 percent of the fees were paid via Passport, said City Manager Jonathan Smith in his weekly report to businesses.
