BENTON HARBOR - More than $8.6 million has been spent in recent years 
cleaning up contamination on former industrial land in Benton Harbor, 
Benton Township and St. Joseph as part of the Harbor Shores golf, 
residential and resort development, according to documents describing 
the project.

Crews have removed some 117,000 tons of garbage, building debris and 
contaminated soil from land throughout the 530-acre area.

And the cleanup isn't done yet.

Harbor Shores next remediation project will be at the former Superior 
Steel site on Graham Avenue, just south of the first hole of the 
project's Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.

The land is slated for residential development, and the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency has given Harbor Shores a $194,000 grant 
to help developers remediate the land to a level that will allow such 
development, project manager Bob McFeeter said last week at a public 
meeting about the cleanup.
