Planned Residential Development Next to the Portage Site

Even in the 21st Century, the drawing below is still stored In the engineering drawings systems at the Portage site. I found the 1949 survey that went to employees and some followup memos on the project. In 1952 the project was dropped because of cost and because the City of Kalamazoo wanted to create the Milham neighborhood. Back then the city stopped at Cork Street so a residential development south of there have would suited the city and Upjohn. In an album loaned to me by Alene Mejeur I found the final article from June 1986.
