The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) announced it has allocated $1.73 million in grants that will be put toward redeveloping West Michigan’s contaminated areas. Funding comes from a statewide effort to address brownfields in Michigan, which are unoccupied or deserted areas that are suspected or confirmed to be contaminated.
$1 million will go toward the redevelopment of Boston Square Neighborhood in Grand Rapids. The redevelopment will include building a pair of mixed-use buildings with 102 apartment units and 16,000 square feet for businesses. An additional $430,000 will go to Grand Rapids to help add multiple residential buildings, and $300,000 will go toward Grand Haven for the construction of three five-unit condominiums.
