Northville Garage:
The city of Northville received Brownfield Redevelopment Grant Funding from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to facilitate the redevelopment of a former dry cleaner and gas station. The .45-acre site was heavily contaminated with dry cleaning solvents and petroleum products from historical operations. Grant funds were used to address the environmental impacts on the site and allow the building to be redeveloped into a popular grill restaurant called the Garage.
Soils with significant PCE concentrations were removed and properly disposed of in a landfill and a vapor barrier installed beneath the building to negate unacceptable exposures to hazardous vapors, resulting in the redevelopment of the property. Reuse of the existing structure not only preserved the character but also resulted in a more sustainable development. |
