    LINCOLN TOWNSHIP, Mich.-- Two hundred new apartment units could come to Lincoln Township just outside Stevensville. Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber President Arthur Havlicek said Berrien County has a shortage of all kinds of housing, particularly for what he calls the "missing middle.""That 'missing middle' is really for the folks that don't qualify for that lower-income housing, and can't afford that market-rate rent," he said.
