From a Secretive Proving Ground to a Fast-Growing Township
Shelby became a township in 1827, and its most distinctive early chapter came in 1927, when the Packard Motor Car Company opened its Packard Proving Grounds here. The township's real residential growth mostly happened later, between the 1970s and early 2000s -- one of southeastern Michigan's fastest-growing periods -- layered on top of an earlier, smaller cluster of 1950s ranch homes.
Different Decades, Different Vapor-Barrier Habits
Because Shelby Township's housing spans five decades of construction rather than one boom, crawl-space and basement vapor-barrier practices vary block by block, and a mold assessment shouldn't assume a single standard applies township-wide.

What to Flag Before a Shelby Township Assessment
Mention your home's approximate construction decade, since Shelby Township's uneven growth curve means original vapor-barrier and ventilation choices differ meaningfully by era.
