The $23 million development, known as "Project T," officially broke ground Tuesday. Lifelong Benton Harbor resident Sharee Brooks lives just down the street from this lot, which used to be home to Mercy Hospital. When Benton Harbor Mayor Marcus Muhammad first came into office, tearing down the crumbling hospital was one of his first actions. The total investment will be more than $23 million, with some of that money coming from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, the Whirlpool Foundation, and the Benton Harbor Brownfield Development Authority.
