BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY BUSINESS
Brownfield Plan Amendment for 372 Morris Avenue (Foundry Square) by GLDG - Rockford
Construction. D. Alexander provided background information on this request. Foundry Square LLC
submitted a Brownfield Plan Amendment application for a $34 million, mixed-use urban development
on 7 acres at 372 Morris Ave. The site formerly housed a coal gasification plant as well as other
industrial uses over the decades. It was later capped and used as a surface parking lot, previously
owned by the Community Foundation for Muskegon County after the closure and demolition of the
former downtown Muskegon Mall. The first phase of the new development includes an 82-room hotel,
four-story 240-space parking deck, 40,000 square foot family entertainment center, and public
infrastructure; planned for the second phase are retail and residential mixed uses. The hotel and
commercial uses could generate 140 new jobs. The Foundry Square project – depending on retail uses
attracted to downtown–is strategically located between Western Avenue and Shoreline Drive
overlooking Muskegon Lake, and has the potential to take downtown redevelopment to a much higher
level..
D. Alexander went on to explain the financial details of the project and Brownfield application. The
development team is seeking tax increments from local, school operating and state education property
taxes and will also need approval of the Michigan Strategic Fund Board. The developer and city staff
have reviewed the plan with state officials from EGLE and the MEDC. The total estimate of eligible
costs is $13.3 million--$1.75 million for EGLE (environmental) costs and Michigan Strategic Fund
(redevelopment) costs $10.56 million with both categories having a 10 percent contingency. A critical
element of the environmental work is installation of a vapor mitigation system on the site, which has
already had a state-approved environmental cleanup. The major element of the development work is
an $8.4 million parking deck, the first such facility proposed for downtown Muskegon since the closure
of the Muskegon Mall. The public right-of-way improvements of streets, sanitary and storm sewers,
water lines, sidewalks, curbs, gutter, lighting and streetscape upgrades with the extension of Second
Street into the development will be completed by the developer to city specifications. The infrastructure
improvements are eligible costs paid for through tax increments and eventually deeded to the city as
public facilities. The plan contemplates paying off eligible costs in 2045 with the remaining five years
of tax increments being placed in the city’s Local Brownfield Revolving Fund. The plan calls for
annual Brownfield Redevelopment Authority administrative fees of $10,000 for the 30-year duration
of the plan, which is within the allowable amount. The plan does not request reimbursement of interest
on borrowing for eligible costs not immediately covered by tax increments. Several city departments
have reviewed the Brownfield plan amendment along with the city attorney, and staff recommends
approval of the request. Once approved by the BRA, the request will go to the City Commission for
their approval.
J. Edwards of Rockford Construction stated that they were partnering with Great Lakes Development
Group (GLDG) on this project. They had been working with city staff over the past months on the site
layout. They planned phased approach, with a hotel, family entertainment center, and parking included
in the initial phase. They had been working with Nederveld on meeting the Form Based Code
requirements for the site. Being the former location of a MichCon plant, the site was quite
contaminated, and the Brownfield plan amendment would help with the cost of environmental issues,
keeping flexibility in mind. J. Canale was part of GLDG. He stated that the hotel and family
entertainment center would be operated by a hotel group out of Grand Rapids, with the entertainment
center consisting of dining, an arcade, and bowling. M. Johnson asked if there was a timeline for
completion. J. Edwards estimated a 6 to 7-year buildout for the entire 7-acre project. C. Benedict of
GLDG stated that the later project phases would driven by the market. M. Kleaveland asked about the
timeline for the extension of 2nd St. J. Schrier stated that it would start with Phase I.
J. Wallace Jr arrived at 10:44 AM.
H. Sytsema asked if the parking structure would be available for other downtown parking. J. Edwards
stated that they needed 240 spaces to cover parking for their site but there should be some room left
for additional public parking.
Included in board members’ meeting packet was a “Resolution Approving Revised Brownfield Plan
Amendment” for this project (Foundry Square at 372 Morris Ave). D. Alexander requested a motion
to approve or deny the resolution.
A motion to approve the resolution for the Brownfield Plan Amendment for Foundry Square LLC at
372 Morris Ave. and to request a public hearing before the Muskegon City Commission to have the
City Commission consider adoption of the plan, was made by H. Sytsema, supported by D. Kalisz and
unanimously approved, with M. Kleaveland, J. Moore, H. Sytsema, M. Johnson, F. Peterson, F.
DePung, D. Kalisz, M. Bottomley, and J. Wallace Jr voting aye.
The Docks Development and Reimbursement Agreement - Jared Belka for Damfino Development. D.
Alexander provided background information on this request. Damfino Development LLC has
submitted a Development and Reimbursement Agreement for the approved Brownfield Plan for The
Docks, a residential development on the former Pigeon Hill sand dune property near 1490 Edgewater.
To summarize the project, Damfino Development received approval of a local-only tax capture
Brownfield plan for the former Pigeon Hill sand mine property at the west end of Muskegon Lake.
Plans are for 240 residential site condominiums needing $18.5 million in initial private capital. The 30-
year plan identifies $20,097,500 in eligible expenses plus interest on borrowing until tax increments
pay for the expenses. Part of eligible expenses is of an estimated $3 million for public infrastructure
for the city’s construction of the traffic circle at Beach Street and Lakeshore Drive, improvements to
Edgewater Street and other streets surrounding the development. The plan estimates The Docks would
create $111.4 million in new property value in the city after 30 years. The plan also includes an annual
$10,000 administrative fee to the city. If the 30-year plan pays off expenses early, the city could receive
up to five years of additional tax capture for a brownfield revolving fund. The reimbursement to the
developer vs. city would be done on a prorated basis with 82.5 percent to the developer and 17.5 percent
to the city. The developer and city will provide the BRA with a request for payment of eligible
expenses. The BRA has 30 days to approve the request. Payments are made on a semi-annual basis
when incremental local taxes are captured and available. Several city departments have reviewed the
Development & Reimbursement Agreement along with the city attorney and staff recommends
approval.
S. Musselman provided an update on the project. There had been no changes, and developers continued
to work on a state permit for wetland mitigation. They were also working on vacating the end of
Edgewater St which had to go through Circuit Court. Once those issues were resolved, they could
begin construction. M. Bottomley asked when construction on the roundabout would begin. F.
Peterson stated that it would begin in about 30 days, to cause minimal traffic disruption during the busy
summer season. H. Sytsema asked if the wetland issue could derail the project. S. Musselman stated
that it would not, but they may have to do additional mitigation.
A motion to approve the Development & Reimbursement Agreement for the approved Brownfield Plan
for The Docks and Damfino Development LLC was made by F. Peterson, supported by M. Kleaveland
and unanimously approved, M. Kleaveland, J. Moore, H. Sytsema, M. Johnson, F. Peterson, F. DePung,
D. Kalisz, M. Bottomley, and J. Wallace Jr voting aye.
DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY BUSINESS
DDA Financial Report -- Finance Director B. Lewis distributed updated budget information. As
expected, there was not much discretionary income this year. M. Kleaveland asked if the County debt
payment was taken care of. B. Lewis stated that it had been paid off; she hoped to be able capture the
balance next year. J. Wallace asked what the DDA could expect for tax increment revenue next year.
B. Lewis stated that that information would not be available until June or July, once the Board of
Review was done and any adjustments had been made.
Business Improvement District (BID) Update – D. Alexander updated members on BID business per
discussions that had taken place at the BID board’s February meeting. The BID was currently
scheduled to expire on 12/31/20. They were in the process of working a BID plan for a scaled-down
area for the next 3 years.
Downtown Marketing and Events – D. Alexander provided a list of downtown events scheduled to
date and a list of cruise ship visits. At this time, it was unknown how the coronavirus might affect
these events.

Muskegon Brownfield Development Authority:
Agenda item for 5-12-20
Harbor West LLC, 1000-1010-1060 West Western Ave.
Hartshorn Village
Brownfield Plan Amendment
Requesting party: Harbor West LLC
Outline of the request: Harbor West LLC has submitted a Brownfield Plan
Amendment for residential site condominiums on an initial 3.01 acres adjacent to
the city of Muskegon’s Hartshorn Marina at 1000, 1010 and 1060 West Western
Ave. along the city’s Lakeshore Trail. The investment in the first phase is
estimated at $5+ million.
Background: A former employee parking lot of the Shaw-Walker Co. was sold by
the city of Muskegon to Harbor West LLC in 2018 for a residential site
condominium project. This initial Brownfield Plan Amendment is for the first 10
new market-rate, single-family homes. Plans for the property and that of Fricano
Place to the west are to expand the development to approximately 50 home sites
as the market demands. The site sits along the Lakeshore Trail, adjacent to
Hartshorn Marina. The high-end, waterfront residential project is a key kick off to
the redevelopment of the Western Waterfront. A key element of this initial plan
are Hartshorn Marina upgrades and improvements.
Staff comments:
1. An Envirologic report finds the site environmentally meets the definition of
a “facility” under the state’s Brownfield Act 451.
2. This plan is for $5.597 million in eligible costs. It is a local-only property tax
capture plan, although through statute the plan is eligible for $2,429 for
eligible environmental costs captured by state educational millage through
EGLE. There is no need for state approval.
3. The EGLE eligible environmental costs are $250,000, demolition $19,500,
site preparation $626,000 and infrastructure improvements of $3.946
million. The infrastructure includes typical roads, utilities but mostly city
improvements to the public boat launch, marina dock system and
pool/clubhouse (joint use marina/condos). Those public marina costs are
the majority of the infrastructure at $3.502 million.
4. The initial capture for phase one is estimated at $2.168 million over the 30
years. Subsequent phases are expected to bring further plan amendments
to the BRA that would cover all eligible costs within the plan’s timeframe.
5. In a sales and development agreement between the city and Harbor West
LLC in August 2018, the parties agreed that the city would provide the
buyer up to $600,000 for brownfield eligible costs. When the brownfield
plan tax capture begins the city would receive the first $600,000 in plan
revenue. After the city’s costs are covered, the remainder of Harbor West’s
eligible costs would be paid from tax capture with the city’s marina upgrade
costs being paid last. The agreement between the city and Harbor West LLC
will be reflected in the subsequent development and reimbursement
agreement the BRA would consider.
6. There is a 15 percent contingency in the plan. There is no request for
interest on borrowing being included as an eligible cost. The plan
contemplates continued five-year capture of tax increments for a local
Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund if there is time left in the 30-year plan after
eligible costs are covered.
7. There is an annual $10,000 administrative fee paid to the BRA.
Staff recommendation: City staff has reviewed the Harbor West LLC brownfield
plan amendment and staff recommends approval.
Suggested motion: I move to approve/disapprove the resolution for the
Brownfield Plan Amendment for Harbor West LLC (Hartshorn Village) at 1000-
1010-1060 West Western Ave. If approved, I move to request a public hearing
before the Muskegon City Commission and to have the City Commission consider
adoption of the plan.

I. INTRODUCTION
In order to promote the revitalization of commercial, industrial, and residential properties
within the boundaries of the City of Muskegon (the “City”), the City established the City
of Muskegon Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (the “Authority”) pursuant to Act 381,
Public Acts of Michigan, as amended (“Act 381”) and a resolution adopted by the
Muskegon City Commission on February 10, 1998. Terms defined in Act 381 and
applicable sections of the statute are noted in italics throughout this document.
This Brownfield Plan (“Plan”) was originally intended to address the redevelopment of
eligible properties within the City that are impacted by the presence of hazardous
substances in concentrations that exceed Michigan’s Part 201 Generic Cleanup Criteria
(“facilities”) or that have been determined to be Functionally Obsolete or Blighted. By
facilitating redevelopment of underutilized eligible properties, the Plan is intended to
promote economic growth for the benefit of the residents of the City and all taxing units
located within and benefited by the Authority.
This Plan is intended to be a living document, which can be amended as necessary to
achieve the purposes of Act 381. It is specifically anticipated that properties will be
continually added to the Plan as new projects are identified. The Plan contains general
provisions applicable to the Plan, as well as property-specific information for each
project. The applicable Sections of Act 381 are noted throughout the Plan for reference
purposes.
This Brownfield Plan contains the information required by Section 13(2) of Act 381, as
amended. Additional information is available from the Muskegon City Manager or the
Director of Planning and Economic Development.
II. GENERAL PROVISIONS
A. Costs of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(2)(a))
Any site-specific costs of implementing this Plan are described in the site-specific
section of the Plan. Site-specific sources of funding may include tax increment financing
revenue generated from new development on eligible brownfield properties, state and
federal grant or loan funds, and/or private parties. Where private parties finance the
costs of eligible activities under the Plan, tax increment revenues may be used to
reimburse the private parties. The initial costs related to preparation of the Brownfield
Plan were funded by the City’s general fund. Subsequent amendments to the Plan may
be funded by the person requesting inclusion of a project in the Plan, and if eligible, may
be reimbursed through tax increment financing.
The Authority intends to pay for administrative costs and all of the things necessary or
convenient to achieve the objectives and purposes of the Authority with fees charged to
applicants to be included in the Plan, and any eligible tax increment revenues collected
pursuant to the Plan, in accordance with the provisions of Act 381, including, but not
limited to:
i) the cost of financial tracking and auditing the funds of the Authority,
1 5/7/2020
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
Harbor West, LLC Development Project
ii) costs for amending and/or updating the Plan, including legal fees, and
iii) costs for Plan implementation
Tax increment revenues that may be generated and captured by this Plan are identified
in the site-specific sections of this Plan.
B. Method for Financing Costs of Plan and Bonded Indebtedness (Section
13(2)(d) and (e))
The City or Authority may incur some debt on a site-specific basis. Please refer to the
site-specific section of this Plan for details on any debt to be incurred by the City or
Authority. When a property proposed for inclusion in the Plan is in an area where tax
increment financing is a viable option, the Authority intends to enter into Development
and Reimbursement Agreements with the property owners/developers of properties
included in the Plan to reimburse them for the costs of eligible activities undertaken
pursuant to the Plan. Financing arrangements will be specified in the Development and
Reimbursement Agreement, and also identified in the Site Specific section of the Plan.
C. Duration of the Brownfield Plan (Section 13(2)(f))
The Plan, as it applies to a specific eligible property, shall be effective up to five (5)
years after the year in which the total amount of any tax increment revenue captured is
equal to the total costs of eligible activities attributable to the specific property, or thirty
(30) years from the date of first tax capture under the Plan as it relates to an individual
site, whichever is less. The total costs of eligible activities include the cost of principal
and interest on any note or obligation issued by the Authority to pay for the costs of
eligible activities, the reasonable costs of a Work Plan, the actual costs of the Michigan
Environmental Great Lakes & Energy or Michigan Strategic Fund’s review of the Work
Plan and implementation of the eligible activities, as applicable.
D. Displacement/Relocation of Individuals on Eligible Properties
(Section 13(2)(i),(j)(k)(l)
At this time, eligible properties identified in the Plan do not contain residences, nor are
there any current plans or intentions by the City for identifying eligible properties that will
require the relocation of the residences. Therefore the provisions of Section 13(2)(i-l)
are not applicable at this time.
E. Local Site Remediation Revolving Fund (Section 8; Section 13(5)(b))
Whenever the Plan includes a property for which taxes will be captured through Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) provided by Act 381, it is the Authority's intent to establish a
Local Brownfield Revolving Fund ("Fund"). The Fund will consist of tax increment
revenues that exceed the costs of eligible activities incurred on an eligible property, as
specified in Section 13(5) of Act 381. Section 13(5) authorizes the capture of TIF from
an eligible property for up to 5 years after the time that capture is required for the
purposes of reimbursing the costs of eligible activities identified in the Plan. It is the
intention of the Authority to continue to capture tax increment revenues for 5 years after
eligible activities are funded from those properties identified for tax capture in the Plan,
2 5/7/2020
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
Harbor West, LLC Development Project
provided that the time frame allowed by Act 381 for tax capture is sufficient to
accommodate capture to capitalize a Fund. The amount of school operating taxes
captured for the Fund will be limited to the amount of school operating taxes captured for
eligible department specific activities under the Plan. It may also include funds
appropriated or otherwise made available from public or private sources.
The Fund may be used to reimburse the Authority, the City, and private parties for the
costs of eligible activities at eligible properties and other costs as permitted by Act 381.
It may also be used for eligible activities on an eligible property for which there is no
ability to capture tax increment revenues. The establishment of the Fund will provide
additional flexibility to the Authority in facilitating redevelopment of brownfield properties
by providing another source of financing for necessary eligible activities.
III. SITE SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
Z. Harbor West, LLC Development Project
Eligibility and Project Description (Sec. 13(2)(h))
Project Description
Harbor West, LLC (“Harbor West”) intends to develop approximately 3.01 acres of land
located at 1000, 1010 and 1060 West Western Avenue in Muskegon, MI (the “Property”)
into residential site condominiums (the “Project”). The Project will include the
construction of an initial ten (10) new market-rate site condominiums, associated site
improvements and marina improvements to the adjacent Hartshorn Marina located at
920 West Western Avenue (“Marina Property”). The Project will include department
specific activities, demolition, site preparation and infrastructure improvement activities
in order to prepare the Property and Marina Property for redevelopment. A proposed
site plan is included in Attachment Z-2.
It is anticipated that the Plan will be amended at a later date to include additional costs
for future phases of development. The estimated total capital investment to complete
Phase I of the Project is estimated to be approximately $5+ million.
The eligible property included in this Plan consists of four parcels of property totaling
15.41 acres in the City of Muskegon, Michigan (see Attachment Z-3).
This eligible property includes all existing real and all new taxable personal property.
Eligibility
The 1000 West Western property meets the definition of a “facility” as defined by Part
201 of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994) due to the
presence of select metals found in shallow soil intervals that are consistent with area-
wide contaminated historical fill. Total mercury, copper, arsenic, selenium, and silver
were detected in shallow soil throughout the area exceeding the groundwater surface
water interface protection criteria, while arsenic concentrations also exceeding the
residential drinking water and direct contact criterion. The 920, 1010 and 1060 West
3 5/7/2020
City of Muskegon Brownfield Plan Amendment
Harbor West, LLC Development Project
Western parcels are adjacent and contiguous to the 1000 West Western property and
development of these parcels is expected to increase its taxable value. Therefore, the
parcels are considered “eligible property” under Act 381.

1. INTRODUCTION AND DISCUSSION
A. Owner/Operator Information
Current Owner: Harbor West LLC
B. Intended Use of Property
Harbor West LLC purchased the property on October 30, 2018, and intends to develop the subject
property with multiple condominiums.
The subject property location map and site plan are included in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
C. Phase I ESA Summary Recognized Environmental Conditions
Recognized environmental conditions (RECs) were identified in the June 22, 2018, Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) report conducted by Envirologic. These RECs include the
following:
Previous environmental studies have demonstrated the presence of contaminants at
and surrounding area.
The former Shaw-Walker/Lakeview Industrial Center property located across W. Western
Avenue to the south represents a vapor encroachment threat based on the former
detections of both chlorinated and petroleum-related contaminants in soil and
groundwater.
D. Exceptions/Deletions from ASTM 1527-05
No exceptions to or deletions from the ASTM 1527-13 Phase I ESA standard have been identified
in the June 22, 2018, Phase I ESA.
E. Phase I ESA Data Gaps Discussion
A data gap is the inability to obtain information within the scope of the Phase I ESA. No data gaps
were encountered for the Phase I ESA.
A data failure is the absence of information typically used to complete a Phase I ESA. No data
failures were encountered for the Phase I ESA.

F. Sampling Discussion Purpose/Methods
On October 24 25, 2017, Envirologic initiated and completed field activities at the subject
property in order to characterize soil and groundwater conditions. These activities included the
installation of nine soil borings located at various locations across the subject property based on a
proposed preliminary site plan layout. The boring locations were selected based on the locations
of various features shown in the preliminary site plan, such as residencies (GP-1 through GP-7), a
playground (GP-9), and a swimming pool (GP-8). Activities also included the collection of shallow
soil samples (6 inches below the ground surface) in order to characterize soils for direct contact
exposures. Deeper soil samples (approximately 2 6 feet below the ground surface) were collected
to better characterize the historically contaminated fill-type soils at the subject property and in
the surrounding Muskegon Lake area. Because of previous environmental investigations that
identified the presence of trichloroethene and vinyl chloride in groundwater, groundwater
samples were collected from temporary monitoring wells that were installed in each of the soil
borings. All the soil samples were submitted for analysis of select metals and polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs, method 8270), and all of the groundwater samples were submitted
for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis (method 8260). Soil samples were not analyzed for
VOCs since there was no evidence of VOC impact such as significant photoionization detector
(PID) readings, staining, odors, etc. in soil.
A review of the soil analytical results indicates that the detection of PNAs was limited to one
boring location, GP-1, located in the northwest corner of the subject property. The reported
concentrations of the 10 PNA constituents detected do not exceed any current MDEQ Residential
or Non-Residential cleanup criterion. Select metals were detected in each of the soil samples
collected. Of those metals detected, total mercury, copper, arsenic, selenium, and silver were
detected in concentrations exceeding the groundwater surface water interface protection criteria;
the concentration of arsenic also exceeded the residential drinking water and direct contact
criterion.
The Phase II ESA laboratory analytical results demonstrate that the subject property meets the
, 201 of NREPA.
G. Known Contamination Locations and Environmental Media
Soil contaminants detected on the subject property exceeding cleanup criteria were found site-
wide at all nine soil boring locations and included arsenic, copper, selenium, silver, and mercury.
Selenium concentrations exceed cleanup criteria in every boring except GP-6, located in the
2
eastern portion of the property beneath proposed residencies. Silver concentrations exceed
cleanup criteria in every boring except GP-9, located in the central portion of the property at a
proposed playground area. Both arsenic and copper concentrations exceed cleanup criteria in two
boring locations: GP-2, located beneath proposed residencies in the northwest portion of the
property, and GP-5, located beneath proposed residences in the eastern portion of the property.
The only detection of mercury on the property was also an exceedance. The mercury exceedance
was detected at GP-7, located near the eastern property boundary, beneath proposed residencies.
The known contamination on the property is consistent with the findings of the 2008 *C88#71'
D+)!7$'07+#EF%G+'033+338+&$'!H'I%3$!7%"'J%--'!H'(C3K+:!&' #K+'*/!7+-%&+;'(C3K+:!&;'(%"/%:#&'
prepared by Environmental Resources Management and Superior Environmental Corp. This
previous study identified the presence of contaminated historic fill soils along the Muskegon Lake
Shoreline and included samples collected from the subject property.
The presence of arsenic, copper, selenium, silver, and mercury detected in soil at concentrations
that exceed current Part 201 generic residential cleanup criteria and screening levels
demonstrates that the subject property has been
of the NREPA.
Refer to Figure 2 for a site plan detailing the sample locations and concentrations of contaminants
identified in association with the subject property.

Re: Monthly report
Date: 5-7-2020
Board members:
I am giving you much the same update I sent out a week ago or so to downtown board
leadership. Our partners at the Muskegon Chamber of Commerce and Visit Muskegon are doing
an outstanding job of putting the wheels back on this local economy as it relates to the
businesses and institutions that are the foundation of downtown Muskegon. Efforts are being
made to bring together tourism, hospitality, retail and restaurant/bar entities to coordinate our
“reset” and market as such. I will have a few more comments at the meeting.
Please continue to support downtown restaurants, coffee shops, specialty food
outlets and craft beverage producers as they provide take-out and curb-side services. It is
critical these small businesses survive the virus crisis and be a part of our growing downtown
when a new normal is achieved. We are all exploring outside seating options as restaurants and
beverage establishments begin to ramp back up.
Events – large scale gatherings – are an area that are most difficult as we look into the future of
staying safe and physically distant. Several have cancelled and others will follow or become
something completely different in the coming weeks. Taste of Muskegon is going to a
curbside/take out event to promote local food outlets. However, Muskegon is in a sweet spot
when it comes to the number one thing sought by travelers this year … beaches. And we have
the wide-open trails, lakes, rivers and woods for physical distancing recreation.
Some other observations:
• Brownfield Development Plans continue to be written and approved. Most recently, the
$34 million plan of Great Lakes Development Group and Rockford Construction Co.
received City Commission approval for Foundry Square, a mixed-used development on
the Morris Street former parking lot site at Second Street. Harbor West LLC and its first
phase of Hartshorn Village is before you Tuesday. The Windward Pointe brownfield plan
is being amended and should be before the BRA at its June meeting. Finally, The Docks
on the old Pigeon Hill dune site with a brownfield plan approved in December is having
an amendment of its Planned Unit Development before the Muskegon Planning
Commission next month or so.
• The Muskegon County Convention Center is back under construction and the downtown
Shoreline Inn and Delta and are tentatively to beginning to reopen May 15.
• The Leonard has a construction trailer on site, always a good sign but the Lakeview Lofts
II are stalled with the shelter-at-home.
• Core Realty's redevelopment at 1208 Eighth continues under construction as does
scattered site housing developments in the Nelson Neighborhood and the final build out
of Terrace Point Landing.
• Discussions between the city of Muskegon and Sand Products on the property swap of
the Third Street Wharf and Fisherman's Landing continue.
• The city will be obtaining the Catholic social services building at Houston and Third in
Midtown and an out-of-town developer is showing serious interest in the property.
• The redevelopment of 1144 Third -- the former Oldsmobile dealership property -- will be
the subject of a owner-state-city developed Request for Proposals process once public
health issues allow.
• Finally, the city will collaborate with the Community Foundation's public art committee
and the Muskegon Rotary Club to launch a joint Patronicity public spaces crowd-funding
initiative. This is the state public spaces program Downtown Muskegon used to create
the Bark Park. The crowd funding effort will be for both the Rotary's Watch Muskegon
Play instrumental art project slated for five downtown locations and a new major public
art installation in the traffic circle being created with the roundabout at Beach and
Lakeshore in Pere Marquette Park.
As you can see, many remain very optimistic on Downtown Muskegon's future. As we work
our way through this unprecedented situation, I hope you and yours are safe and healthy. For
now, stay home, stay safe, save lives. But as we begin to reopen and reset our downtown going
forward, the community will be looking to you for innovative ideas, inspiration and leadership.
