A Path Forward: Brownfield Area-Wide Plan

Study Area Map

In 2017, the EPA selected the Wayne County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority as a Brownfields Area-Wide Planning Grant recipient. The Wayne County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority worked with the community and other stakeholders to develop an area-wide plan and implementation strategy for the redevelopment of the City of River Rouge's downtown area, the area of the DTE Energy Rouge River Power Plant (which fronts both the Rouge and Delaware Rivers and closed in 2021), and the neighborhood in between these two sites.

The project occurred in three phases: Understanding, Idea Testing, and Deciding & Doing. Each phase included a public workshop and an advisory committee meeting.
