Port Huron leaders are moving to rezone the old Dunn Paper mill site on Riverside Street to push new housing, mixed-use projects and better waterfront access. Crown Enterprises, which bought the 13-acre property in ’23 for $1.2 million, wants to use it for bulk material storage and has fought the change through attorneys’ letters. City Manager James Freed said Crown’s plan does not meet current zoning rules. Mayor Anita Ashford backed rezoning after hearing from residents but stressed the shoreline’s safety. A final vote is set for next Monday.
