The State of St. Clair County Address Luncheon was held last Friday in Marysville. There was a a host of speakers and the annual update by St. Clair County Administrator Karry Hepting, Marysville Mayor Dan Damman made the announcement that the developer of the St. Clair Inn and Hotel Harrington will be purchasing the property on the waterfront, of the former home of DTE Power Plant or otherwise called the Mighty Marysville. The plant was imploded in 2015. Jeff Katofsky said he plans to revitalize the now vacant site to construct the mixed-use, retail options he thinks the region is missing. The property is located at 301 Gratiot Blvd, where the road merges with M-29 on the St. Clair River. Katofsky stated he will be looking at several ideas, not so much as another hotel, but, maybe a marina, a boardwalk and walk around, waterfront restaurants and stores, along with residential living, possibly condos. Those who would like to follow the projects Katofsky and his partners have in the area can text “BLUEWATER” to 484848 for regular updates.
