Commission backs Harbor Shores Parcel 2 brownfield modification, requests County action

Jul 14, 2025

The Commission voted unanimously to support Harbor Shores' request to remove Parcel 2 from the existing County Brownfield TIF and place it into a new Brownfield Plan so development can proceed; county staff estimated reimbursements could extend into the mid-2040s.

The full story

City Manager Emily Hackworth introduced Harbor Shores President Chris Cook and Berrien County Community Development Director Dan Fette to present a proposed Brownfield modification for Harbor Shores Parcel 2. The plan is to terminate the existing County Brownfield TIF for certain parcels earlier than previously scheduled and create a new brownfield plan for Parcel 2 to permit upcoming development activity and preserve eligibility to reimburse eligible costs.
