From Downtown to Data Centers | Week of July 24, 2026 | Traverse City News Roundup

Changes are coming to Traverse City this week on Currently! Support for Currently comes from West Shore Bank, committed to the well-being of our community. Christal and Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) break down several major decisions taking shape across the city. From competing proposals for the West End to plans for making two-way traffic permanent on downtown streets, we look at how Traverse City could change in the years ahead. Beth also explains the latest developments surrounding TIF and what comes next for Hickory Hills. Finally, the conversation shifts to Garfield Township, where officials are considering an 18-month moratorium on data centers while they update local zoning rules. Currently is a Compass Local podcast produced by Pancake Boy Productions.
