MUSKEGON, MI – An asphalt plant that seems out of place amid a growing medical corridor on Sherman Boulevard is making plans to move operations closer to Muskegon Lake.
Asphalt Paving Inc. is seeking a zoning change that would allow it to move from 1000 E. Sherman Blvd. to a location off Getty Street near Moses Jones Parkway.
The move would put it closer to other operations of Verplank, its parent company.
A zone change, from I-1 light industrial to I-2 general industrial, and a special use permit for the 20-acre property eyed for the new location was approved last week by the Muskegon Planning Commission. The rezoning will be considered by city commissioners Tuesday, March 9.
Large marijuana grow operation recommended for sprawling old factory in Muskegon
Updated Dec 16, 2020;
MUSKEGON, MI – A large-scale marijuana growing and processing operation could go into the vacant portion of the old Shaw-Walker factory in Muskegon, a section of which currently houses condos.
The Muskegon Planning Commission has endorsed a request by the building’s owners to be zoned for all types of marijuana licensing. The building, which houses the Watermark Lofts condominiums, Coffee Factory restaurant and the Watermark 920 Conference Center, was already placed in a district that allows for marijuana retail sales.
“That building has been vacant and falling apart slowly for a long time,” Muskegon Planning Director Mike Franzak told the planning commission earlier this month. “We’ve already seen part of it come down. I don’t know how much longer it has to go.”
