The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is awarding a combined $2.415 million in Brownfield Redevelopment Grants to four projects that will bring $26 million in capital investment and 47 news jobs to Michigan. Each of the grants is paying for work that will protect the environment and make the sites safe for redevelopment.
A $1 million EGLE grant will allow Cook Chevrolet to expand its business by turning a blighted former truck stop into a $4 million used car lot and sales building. The expansion is expected to create 20 new jobs. Grant funds will be used to remove contaminated soil and underground storage tanks, demolition, and other environmental work. Grant-funded work is expected to be finished in the summer of 2028.

EGLE is awarding a $1 million grant to a project that will allow the Port of Monroe to take in more cargo and be better prepared for emergencies. The $16 million redevelopment plan calls for the construction of a second wharf to handle international cargo, a readiness slip for tugboats and emergency ships, and an improved turning basin for larger ships. The grant will help cover the cost of disposing of contaminated sediment removed during dredging. Grant-funded work is scheduled to be done by the fall of 2026.
