The former Tecumseh Products facility in Tecumseh, Michigan is a few steps closer to redevelopment, after a $2 million award from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) last week.

The money is being split into two parts: a $1 million grant and a $1 million loan, both meant to help with brownfield conditions at the 55-acre site. That money will go toward a protective vapor barrier under one of the facility’s buildings, as well as the demolition of another building. Tecumseh Products itself is handling cleaning of the actual contaminated soil and groundwater at the site.

“This funding is great news to help spark redevelopment in Tecumseh,” Rep.
