It\u2019s gratifying to see our legislative efforts come to life right here in our local community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first property, Riverfront Place in Rochester, has been vacant since 1990. The soil and groundwater are contaminated with metals, petroleum compounds, and chlorinated solvents, but the $1 million grant from EGLE will be used to address the pollutants and transform the site into a five-story building with 129 apartments, along with five separate buildings with three townhouses each. The redevelopment will also include a rain garden, amphitheater, and picnic area.<\/p>\n<p>Three other vacant properties in Farmington, all contaminated with either petroleum compounds or chlorinated solvents, will be revitalized into new housing, bringing an additional 53 townhomes to the downtown corridor.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">###<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LANSING, Mich.
