Cornerstone Project, New Buffalo

Cornerstone Project moves forward

I did not know if this should go here or in the Michigan general forum but here is a project in harbor country. I was just wondering what you all thought about this project. The rendering in the article is rather small but it seems like a good project for such a small community.

That is kind of a cool project. It reminds me of that development in Allendale on 45 near GVSU

It looks cool from that tiny rendering they have with the article. Of course I'd like to see a bigger version of the rendering.

My girlfriend works in New Buffalo and this would make a huge impact on that small downtown.

Awesome! I love the historic look to it. Does anyone have a picture of the area where its going to be right now?

[Eridony]

Sorry, I don't have a picture but I saw the site this summer. There isn't much to see, it was just a large fruit market that seemed to be under a tent or some kind of open air building. It was across US-12 for the rest of the downtown so this will be a nice extension to DT.

Here is a picture of the fruit market that used to be there. I also took some pictures of some buildings on Whitaker and some condos. I was only there for about 15 minutes so I did not get alot. I have not been there for a while and I did not realize that there were still so many condos. I took some pics of those as well. That is pretty much all there is in New Buffalo. I think the developer for this project and most of the projects in town just retired. However, I think they found someone else to finish all of the projects that he had started. The continuation of the condoization of New Buffalo and the rest of harbor country should continue because the casino will open soon in NB.

Bank robbery in New Buffalo

Well who ever it was that used my awesome photo to scope out this place, not cool. Not cool. Just kidding. But I thought it was weird that this bank got robbed after I posted the pics. So anyway, so you do not have to click on the link this bank was robbed this morning.
