The City of Escanaba and Delta County collaborated on commercial projects on September 22, 2026, at a waterfront site in Escanaba. Construction is beginning on the foundation of a Hampton Inn at 111 N. Third St, which was the location of the former Delta County Jail that closed in 2019. This project follows years of planning and adjustments with local authorities, including the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy.
