Marijuana growing and retail, 150 new apartments at old Shaw-Walker factory get initial OK
Updated Jan 25, 2021;
MUSKEGON, MI – A highly visible old factory near downtown and Muskegon Lake is the site of a redevelopment proposal that features marijuana growing and new apartments.
City staff warned it could be the last chance to save the sprawling building, the former Shaw-Walker factory.
The plans for the property at 920 Washington Ave. and 965 W. Western Ave. are the latest in a series of proposals for the historic factory near Muskegon Lake, which included a large indoor entertainment complex that never came to fruition.
Watermark Center currently includes 53 residential lofts, the Watermark 920 event center and the Coffee Factory eatery.
