 Regular protests commence at Marshall's Brooks Memorial Fountain in downtown MarshallLocal residents gathered on a cold and dreary day in downtown Marshall to protest the Marshall Area Economic Development Alliance (MAEDA) and the State of Michigan's plan to build the "Marshall Megasite" a heavy industrial complex on 1,800 acres on the edge of Marshall. The complex will cover over 4.5 by 1.5 miles of agricultural lands, farmsteads and homes between 15 Mile Road at the edge of Marshall to the Soaring Eagle Casino on 11 Mile Road.
Channel 3 News was on the spot to interview local residents opposed to the Marshall Megasite! This was the second public protest in downtown Marshall since the City Council of Marshall voted unanimously on the PA 425 land transfer.

Concerned CitizensWe are concerned residents who are oppossed to the State of Michigan's plant to create a 1,600 acre industrial park outside historic Marshall, Michigan. Instead we wish to see a 1,600 acre recreational area on this site which runs along two miles of the Kalamazoo River. Save Historic Marshall, Save Michigan's Agricultural Land and Protect Michigan's green spaces! Archives
