The pier redevelopment utilizing the piles at Founders Landing is set to start construction this summer. The City is required to either reuse these piles or remove them and the project was incorporated as a part of the brownfield plan for Founders Landing. The project area is located in Lake Superior adjacent to the Founders Landing development and south of the lower harbor ore dock. The north set of piles are directly east of Baraga Street and the south set of piles are east of the Hampton Inn.

GEI and City Staff presented updated options to the City Commission in Febraury 2021 for the piers as the older designs were not approved by regulatroy agencies. The presentation and new schematics are linked below.
