Water well locations have been identified by address matching, the use of global positioning systems (GPS), and by legal descriptions.
This system allows water well drilling and pump installation contractors to submit water well records.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is awarding a $750,000 Brownfield Redevelopment Grant to a project that will turn a contaminated property into 54 new homes plus retail space in Detroit’s West Village neighborhood. The site consists of six parcels of land: 1500, 1514, 1518, 1526, and 1532 Van Dyke Street, plus 8029 Coe Avenue.
A dry cleaner was in business on one parcel until 1970. The others were developed for residential use but are all vacant now. Two houses are still standing. Site assessments found metals and chlorinated solvents in soil and groundwater. The EGLE grant will be used for additional assessments, removal of an estimated 2,000 tons of contaminated soil, and demolition of the remaining two buildings.
The city of Detroit is investing $3 million directly into the redevelopment. The city and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation have approved $1.8 million in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to offset some of the developer’s infrastructure and site preparation expenses. TIF allows the increased property tax revenue from the finished redevelopment to be used to reimburse the developer for eligible costs.
The developer plans to spend $16.4 million creating The Coe at West Village: a four-story building with 50 apartment units, four townhomes, 1,600 square feet of commercial space, and on-site parking. The Detroit Brownfield Redevelopment Authority says at least 10 of the apartments will be reserved for tenants making up to 80% of the Area Median Income. The city believes the project will be a catalyst for further development and job creation in the West Village. The Coe at West Village will connect to other neighborhoods and will be within walking distance of Belle Isle and two commercial corridors. Construction is expected to be finished in the fall of 2027.
More than half of EGLE’s annual budget supports local projects, protects public health and the environment, and helps create economic growth and jobs for Michigan workers. Redevelopment increases the value of brownfield sites and other nearby properties. In 2024 EGLE awarded $25.1 million in brownfield incentives to 87 projects around Michigan.
