Eaton Rapids and Eaton County launch next phase toward revitalization
EATON RAPIDS—On October 31, the Eaton County Land Bank Authority has officially acquired the historic Horner Mill property, a major step toward transforming one of the community’s most iconic and long-neglected sites.
With over 1,000 feet of river frontage on the Grand River, the Horner Mill once served as a cornerstone of Eaton Rapids’ industrial and cultural history. Today, the property faces significant environmental and structural challenges, including hazardous materials and several buildings in need of full demolition. With local ownership secured, work will now begin to identify and pursue funding for environmental cleanup, demolition, and future redevelopment.
“After years of blight and hazardous conditions, this historic site will be rehabilitated,” said Eaton Rapids Mayor Pamela Colestock. “We are committed to collaborating with the County Landbank to secure a bright future. The possibilities are truly endless.”
“This purchase marks a new beginning for one of Eaton Rapids’ most storied sites,” said Dairus Reynnet, Eaton County Treasurer and Chair of the Eaton County Land Bank Authority. “Local control means we can finally take charge of the property’s future, ensuring decisions are made in the best interest of the community.”
Both the City and County will continue to work closely to secure state and federal grant funding, engage with residents, and explore redevelopment options that align with community goals.
About the Eaton County Land Bank: The Eaton County Land Bank Authority works to return vacant, blighted, and tax-foreclosed properties to productive use through collaboration, investment, and community-driven planning.
