MUSKEGON, MI - The Muskegon Planning Commission approved the rezoning of two properties that are included in a proposed plan for a land swap between the city and a local port company.

The city commission has final approval on zoning changes.

The proposed deal would close Fisherman’s Landing campground and allow Mart Dock to move port operations to that space on the east end of the city on Muskegon Lake.

The city would acquire neighboring land from Verplank Co. for a public park, as well as some property on Third Street downtown next to Mart Dock’s current operations.

The planning commission approved on Oct. 23 to rezone 23.5 acres of the 43.5-acre site at 560 Mart St. from Waterfront Marine to Waterfront Industrial PUD.

The property is owned by West Michigan Dock & Market Corp.
