Demolition has begun on the River Gate South Apartment Development in Plymouth and City Attorney Sean Surrisi said construction will start soon. Surissi was one of the key players in getting this project off the ground by collaborating with members of the community and Regional Cities Initiative, which awarded $1.5 million of funding for the development.
Earthwork has started on site. Surrisi said there are two homes on the site that need to be demolished before they can start construction. He said portions of both houses have already been taken out but there’s still work being done removing the foundations.
The head contractor met with the city’s technical review team on Tuesday to go over specifics. Surrisi said that contractors are waiting for final approval on a few permits. He said once all the permits are in, full scale construction can begin.
The housing project will consist of three apartment buildings and be at the corner of Michigan Street and Lake Avenue.
