City of Riverview

The City of Riverview is a high quality residential community which has been recognized for its innovation and progressive public policy.

Industrial and mixed use redevelopment opportunities exist along the riverfront. McLouth Steel and ATOCHEM are the major private employers in this area.

Most of the City's commercial activity is along Fort Street [M-85]. Interstate 75 is only 1-1/2 miles west, with Detroit Metropolitan Airport 8 miles to the northwest. Both Conrail and GTW Railroads service the riverfront industrial corridor.

Riverview is the owner and operator of a large regional sanitary landfill which has developed a landfill gas-to-electricity plant and has reclaimed the closed section as a ski facility.
