2020 a big year for development in Muskegon despite COVID-19
Updated Dec 23, 2020;
MUSKEGON, MI – Slowdowns and economic insecurity brought on by the pandemic didn’t halt new development in Muskegon in 2020, which saw groundbreaking on a major new building downtown, housing starts throughout the city and new businesses in its Lakeside neighborhood.
“I knew COVID would slow things down, but I did not doubt that Muskegon has positioned itself as a very desirable community to settle in,” Muskegon Mayor Steve Gawron told MLive.
Construction began on a mixed-use residential and commercial building downtown, ground was broken on a 75-unit apartment building near downtown and work has begun on the first of more than 50 condos planned for Muskegon’s lakefront.
