The Community Foundation of St. Clair County has agreed to contribute $350,000 to a $13 million effort to redevelop the old Art Van building in downtown Port Huron.
The project, now called the Wrigley Center, is being spearheaded by local developers Larry Jones and Brent Marshall. The goal is to transform the 48,600-square-foot space into 36 new residential condos, new retail outlets and public event space.
The county purchased the property for $560,000 in 2014; three years earlier, it had been listed for $1.3 million.

âThis is certainly a bit of a stretch for our foundation,â said Randa Jundi-Samman, the foundationâs board chair, in a Dec. 7 statement. âHowever, this is a crucial project for Port Huron and the region, and we want to support the work of the developers, the city, the county, the EDA and others who are driving the continued revitalization of our region.â
