At a Planning Commission meeting in Gibraltar in July, preliminary discussion began to take place for one of Downriver’s most radical housing developments in history.

This would take place off the coast of Gibraltar and south Trenton, with the focus of the development taking place on the little-known Duck Hunter’s Island.

The requesting party’s name had not been heard from in these parts before: despite not having an active portfolio, Made In Detroit, Inc. (MID) obviously had a plan which excited the commissioners and many others.  From about this time forward, Duck Hunter’s Island would become known as Humbug Marsh.
