Kent County Department of Public Works in Michigan, USA has launched a request for a proposal seeking a private partner for the development of Innovative Waste Conversion Project for Sustainable Business Park (SBP). The 250 acre site will be located at the southwest quarter of Section 36 of Byron Township (Town 5 North, Range 12 West) and the West Half of Section 1 of Dorr Township (Town 4 North, Range 12 West), Allegan County.

The objective of the project is to provide paradigm shift towards a Circular Economy, a value-added system in which virgin resource inputs, wastes, emissions, and energy leakages are minimized by slowing, closing, and narrowing material and energy loops to eliminate loss and reintroduction of useful materials back into commerce. The site will host a variety of tenants and technologies to reuse or repurpose other counties’ and regional waste streams including  Municipal Solid Waste, Organic Waste, Bulky Waste, Construction & Demolition, and Industrial Non-hazardous Waste.

The anchor tenant facility will be designed, built, permitted, operated, and maintained by the private partner.

The deadline to submit the proposal is September 09, 2020. You can find more information about this RFP on our business opportunity page here.
