LISTEN: Proposal Could Turn Historic Golf Course into Industrial Hub

Eric Sorensen

A nearly century-old golf course in western Michigan could be turned into an industrial, commercial and residential complex under a proposal from its potential new owner.

Residents living near Riverside Golf Club & Banquet Center in Battle Creek were invited to an informational meeting Wednesday about the project, WWMT-TV reports. Interstate Capital Investments, which has a tentative agreement in place to buy the course after some two years on the market, would dedicate about half of the property for industrial space, with the other half split between residential areas and commercial and office space.
