Watson Engineering expands Taylor facilities

Local companies are among those receiving Michigan Economic Development Corp funding through the Michigan Economic Growth Authority board, allowing them to expand and relocate so they can stay in Michigan.

Among the recipients are a brownfield project in Taylor, for which $221,220 will support the demolition of two vacant commercial structures to make way for a 40,000 square-foot industrial facility to expand operations of Watson Engineering. That project will also include environmental remediation, a new parking lot, storm water management, and landscaping.

Michigan brownfield programs provide incentives to invest in property that has been used for industrial, commercial, or residential purposes and to keep that property in productive use or return it to productive use. Brownfield incentives can be used for functionally obsolete, blighted, or contaminated property.
