Retailers such as Meijer, Lowe\u2019s, Target, Kohl\u2019s, Menards, IKEA, Wal-Mart and Home Depot across Michigan are arguing that the market value of their operating store should be based on the sales of similar size \u201ccomparable\u201d properties that are vacant and abandoned and may not even be located in Michigan. The stores also place deed restrictions on the vacated buildings that greatly limit what can go in the buildings once they are empty and become dark.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/(S(h4tgtk00qejrgi1mbfabjhai))\/mileg.aspx?page=GetObject&amp;objectname=2016-HB-5578\">A bill<\/a> to address the issue was overwhelming approved in the Michigan House in a 97-11 vote (<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.mml.org\/wp\/inside208\/2016\/06\/08\/dark-stores-fix-wins-approval-in-house\/\">http:\/\/blogs.mml.org\/wp\/inside208\/2016\/06\/08\/dark-stores-fix-wins-approval-in-house\/<\/a>) in June, but is pending in the state Senate where greater opposition is expected.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5171\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"\/inside208\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/08\/boxed-in-1-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5171\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5171\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-5171\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27300%27%20height%3D%27167%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20300%20167%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27300%27%20height%3D%27167%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"\/inside208\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/08\/boxed-in-1-1-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"An example of a Dark Store.

Unfortunately the Michigan Tax Tribunal since 2010 has started to agree.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The documentary film started out as a class project but it quickly developed into a much larger story that took Dr. Brady and his students from Marquette, to Lansing, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Grand Blanc and other other stops along the way.<\/p>\n<p>They interviewed 15 different sources, including State Rep. David Maturen, who authored the bill that was approved in the House. The bill would require the Michigan State Tax Tribunal to follow traditional methods of assessing property.<\/p>\n<p>The students also interviewed Grand Blanc Township Superintendent Dennis Liimatta, current Chair of the Michigan Tax Tribunal, Steven Lasher, and Former Chief Judge Jack Van Coevering to get different perspectives on the issue.
