With the buildings razed and cleanup continuing at the site of the former McLouth Steel site, environmentalist John Hartig, 68, of Trenton urges an earth-friendly future for the Downriver waterfront.
The Trenton City Council rezoned the Industrial Waterfront District at its Dec. 14 council meeting to become a Waterfront Revitalization District.
Trenton Mayor Steven Rzeppa said the new designation reflects the way the land has been permanently altered by its industrial past, while it supports its transition away from heavy industrial purposes to economic mixed use.
