Dive Insight:

With scores of older, often urban, coal-fired plants set to retire, it may be boom times for redevelopers. “We envision this site becoming a destination stop in Southeast Michigan, and anticipate it will provide good jobs and a strong tax base in the region," said Randall Fernandez, Marysville assistant city manager.
