PLAINWELL, Mich. (WOOD) — Two housing developers pitched their proposals Monday night for a project that would take up part of the former Plainwell paper mill site.
The mill has been closed since 2000. The city of Plainwell purchased the plant in 2006 from Allegan County. In 2022, demolition and environmental remediation were completed. City officials sent out a request the following year for proposals of what to put on the site.
In that request, city officials offered 15 acres along the Kalamazoo River and M-89. It expressed a desire for residential attached options like townhomes and lofts with a central gathering place and amenities.
