City of Bay City awarded Brownfield Grant to redevelop 1113 Center Avenue

Bay City, Mich. After sitting vacant for over a decade, a contaminated lot in Bay City will be returned to productive use with help from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). A $200,000 Brownfield Redevelopment Grant was awarded to the city to revitalize the former Fletcher’s Marathon filling station property located in the Center Avenue Historic District. 

The MDEQ brownfield grant will assess and mitigate environmental contamination and demolish the gas station’s foundation and pavement that remains from the previously demolished building.
