A nearly $15 million housing and entertainment facility is beginning to rise above Downtown Port Huron. Dubbed the Wrigley Center, the project is the vision of local developer Larry Jones, who bought the former Art Van Building from from the St. Clair County Board of Commissioners for $35,000 last year. Jones, speaking to WPHM yesterday, says the project hasn’t been without a few setbacks, but still plans on completing it later next year.

“It’s hard to find workers, and our COVID delays and material delays, it’s really hard to say,” Jones said, when asked to speculate when the project would be completed. “From the very beginning we’ve said it’s an 18 month project, so that would put our opening at next July.”

Plans for the Wrigley Center call for four stories of apartments, totaling 36 units, as well as an entertainment venue that could play host to things like the Port Huron farmers market, concerts, and weddings.
