Muskegon Center Rebuild Estimate Tops $11M

MUSKEGON, MI-Plans to redevelop the Muskegon Mall include new electric, gas, phone and cable service upgrades in addition to installing a new street system.

MUSKEGON, MI-The site of the former Muskegon Mall will be redeveloped at an overall cost of $11.6 million, city officials say. Much of the cost to revamp the Downtown mall will go to relaying a street system that was tiled and roofed over under a federal urban renewal project in the early 1970s.

But that re-establishment will also be joined with new electric, gas, phone and cable service upgrades. Aesthetically, project leaders also envision 50 new streetlights, snow-melting sidewalk, fountains and sculptures, new landscaping and an outdoor ice skating rink.

Local officials expect the new streets and utilities have to be in place before they see serious purchase offers for the newly subdivided area known for decades as the Central Business District. Muskegon city officials and the property owners will be working on designing the basic streets and utilities this winter, with construction expected to begin in the spring. All of the public improvements on the mall site are contingent on securing government funding.
