Flint's Chevy in the Hole redevelopment discussed at Kettering University
By Blake Thorne | bthorne1@mlive.com
on January 29, 2013 at 5:30 PM, updated January 29, 2013 at 5:31 PM
FLINT, MI -- The future of the vacant Chevy in the Hole manufacturing complex could include Kettering University using the rehabilitated green space for instruction, research or recreation, officials behind the rehabilitation said at the Flint college Tuesday.
The 200-acre site was home to automobile manufacturing as early as 1916 and hosted the famous Flint Sit-Down Strike in the 1930s.
The property has been vacant since 2004, when the last of the plants was closed and demolished.
Ownership of the property is in the process of transferring to the city of Flint, which obtained it from the Flint Economic Development Corp. last year.
Joel Parker, a senior engineer for Environmental Consulting & Technology Inc. and project designer/engineer for the Chevy in the Hole project, and Steve Montle, a fellow with the Center for Community Progress, told the group of about 50, mostly students, about the property's history, the plans for it and how the redevelopment approach was shaped.
"There was really no economic driver to do anything with this," Parker said.
"With Chevy in the Hole, a bunch of us were sitting around, going, 'What do we do with this thing?'" he added.
Unlike many other industrial redevelopment projects, this project doesn't include a developer coming in with big plans and a big bankroll.
"We can take advantage of the fact that we have time and we have space," said Parker.
The two pointed to the efforts that have already happened at the site, such as planting trees and installing a city composting operation.
"In 20 years, in 10 years, we'll have a site that is cleaner than it is today and looks better," Montle said.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has recently said the composting site has been having "some compliance issues."
Also, $1.6 million in federal grant funds are expected to pay for environmental studies, cleanups and soil capping on 60 acres of the site.
