The linked article, written by Ri’An Jackson reports that the EPA recently signed a $2.5 million agreement to clean the Detroit River. Mr. John Hartig, member of the board of directors at the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, says, “I think this is a (project) that really gives hope that we can reclaim these areas — these industrial waterfronts — and we can clean them up. We can reconnect people to them and they can be amazing places that enhance the quality of life.” The money will be allocated to helping clean contaminated river sediments in a cove area at the Ralph C. Wilson Centennial Park. This cove area will provide an improved habitat for local fish and wildlife. The planned 22-acre park, Ralph C. Wilson Centennial Park, will be located between Rosa Parks boulevard and Eighth Street.
