GRAND RAPIDS, MI - An automotive salvage yard that has been at the corner of Ann Street and Turner Avenue NW for the past 87 year may be cleared to make room for two new industrial buildings. A partnership headed by Visser Development Co. is proposing to redevelop Grand Rapids Auto Parts, a 5.87-acre salvage yard that has long occupied one of the most city's visible gateways along US-131. The project also would include a limousine rental business at 331 Ann Street NW. The developers plan to build two new industrial buildings on the site. Visser Brothers president Bill Mast said they have signed a purchase contract for the business are working with a tenant to lease one building. A second building would got up after the first is completed.

I've never really thought of that area as a gateway, and I wouldn't expect the planned industrial development to do a whole lot in the way of beautification, but it would still be a better use for this property.
