The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), as part of the expansion and
reconstruction of the Blue Water Bridge Plaza, is seeking a qualified consulting firm to
create a comprehensive economic development strategic plan for Port Huron, Michigan
and surrounding St. Clair County. The primary goal of the study will be to identify and
capitalize on economic development opportunities resulting from the increased flow of
goods and services occurring with the improved plaza, with a special emphasis on the
City of Port Huron. MDOT will be the contracting agency and the Economic
Development Alliance of St. Clair County, in conjunction with the Port Huron City
Manager and St. Clair County Administrator, will manage and direct the activities of the
selected Consultant. The overall goal of the project is to create a comprehensive
economic development strategy and implementation plan with a five-year timeframe.
