Concentrate Media: Opening of Dexter Wellness Center expected to create 100 jobs

The Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation will operate the 46,000-square-foot family center —complete with a swimming pool and gym —and plans to employ a minimum of 100 people.

Plans for the project received unanimous approval for the Dexter Village Council in February. The wellness center is the second phase of a three-phase, $9 million redevelopment of the former Colorbok space. Dexter-based A.R.Brouwer Company is working on the project.

BST Investments previously redeveloped the northwestern corner of the property, demolishing two buildings and constructing a new facility for the Dexter Pharmacy.

In addition, apart from the wellness center project, the construction of a third, multi-story, brick commercial building is planned, according to the project description.
