Parking Lot Expansion Planned

Beginning October 2010 the North Berrien Historical Museum will be undergoing an extensive parking lot renovation project.



The project will consist of several stages. First trees will be removed from the corner of Coloma Ave. and Red Arrow Highway. This space will allow for additional parking spots for the museum and for spaces nearer to the Carter House. The old parking lot will be removed including the flag pole, front ramp on the museum, and the signage. The entire site will then be graded evenly to remove drop offs and drainage problems.



After the old parking lot is removed the museum and Carter House septic tanks will be removed and pipes will be laid to connect the buildings to the Coloma City sewer. Electric conduit will also be run under the parking lot for future additions of a lighted sign and parking lot lighting.



After the ground work is completed the new parking lot will be paved with an entrance on Coloma Ave. and another on Red Arrow Highway. Visitors will enjoy expanded parking, additional handicapped parking spots, and a more accessible museum entry.


The final stage of the project will include new landscaping in front of the museum and new signage for the site complex.
