MUSKEGON, Mich. – Opportunity is being found in parts of Muskegon hit hard by disinvestment as affordable homes are planned for vacant lots in several neighborhoods. The homes will be a test — of sorts — to see just how profitable the endeavor could be. Muskegon is home to several hundred vacant lots, the television station reported. “We’ve been very proactive about finding lots that are going to be good opportunities for redevelopment,” said Jake Eckholm, Muskegon’s director of Economic Development. “For a long time, West Michigan has sort of been sleeping on Muskegon,” Eckholm added.
