The 45,000-square-foot building has a long retail history, including Dick’s Sporting Goods and Builder’s Square.

Port Huron Moves to Rezone Industrial Sites

Port Huron officials are moving to open up redevelopment options for several older industrial sites, including the former Domtar paper mill on Washington Ave. Last week, the Planning Commission voted 5-2 to recommend rezoning these properties from industrial use to a Planned Unit Development, which allows more flexible future uses while keeping current operations. The proposal, affecting sites along Washington, 12th, Kearney, and Thomas streets, now heads to City Council for a final vote today.
