The Blue Water Area is well-represented in a new revitalization investment sponsored by the Michigan Strategic Fund and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The projects are intended to bring housing, economic growth, and vibrancy to the neighborhoods.
The projects are the Quay Docks Project in Port Huron and the Marine City Apartments project in Marine City.
The Quay Docks project is expected to create 30 full-time jobs after the renovation of the vacant building on Quay Street is complete. The mixed-use development will have two commercial spaces and five apartments. The building will have a green roof along with energy and lighting upgrades to modernize the Quay Street property.
The Marine City Apartments Project will renovate the Geck Building to include six apartments and six garages. The project will bring more people downtown and contribute to Marine City’s continued economic development.
Funding for both projects comes from grants from the Michigan Community Revitalization Program and special tax programs in both municipalities.
