Whirlpool is exploring a multiyear, $50 million project to renovate or rebuild its technology center in southwest Michigan.
The Benton Harbor-based global appliance maker Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE: WHR) proposed options to rebuild or renovate its global technology center in St. Joseph, near the company’s global and North American headquarters in Benton Harbor, according to the southwest Michigan economic development agency Cornerstone Alliance on Thursday.
Proposals for new construction at the existing St. Joseph site include a possible 150,000 square feet of new construction with an investment of about $50 million. The new facility would replace much or all of the existing St. Joseph Technology Center, parts of which are more than 100 years old.

The Lisbon Town Council voted unanimously Tuesday to seek court action to force the clean-up of a property at 49 Frost Hill Avenue.
The property is owned by Chad Pomerleau, according to a memo to the council from Code Enforcement Officer Dennis Douglass.
Douglass states that he notified Pomerleau in September 2015 that having non-domestic animals on the property was in violation of the town’s ordinances.
The most recent violation notices sent in October 2020 and January 2021 were for illegal burning of household trash and violating local and state junkyard and litter laws. Douglass required cleanup of the litter and debris.
