Project Details
A community destination point
Abonmarche worked with the City of Allegan to develop an under- used riverfront area in the city. The riverfront area is located between picturesque buildings and the Kalamazoo River and can be seen from M-
89, one of the main corridors into Allegan, making it an important potential draw for visitors driving through the City.
During the planning stages of the project, Abonmarche hosted and attended many public meetings to coordinate with city staff, gather area residents’ ideas for the project, and answer their questions.
We assisted Allegan with grant development for the riverfront project, as well as for a canoe/kayak launch project that is located near the riverfront plaza. We also worked with the City of Allegan to redevelop the parking lots along the riverfront to support the redevelopment.
