Projects and Expertise

 

Clients throughout the Midwest and Northeast utilize CCRG’s services for their cultural resources management and historic preservation needs.

We have coordinated literature and file searches in advance of survey projects and cultural resource surveys for many types of projects. CCRG has also been involved in investigations and report production for work ranging from surveys of a few acres to the analysis and reporting efforts for major mitigation projects. In addition to serving as a prime contractor, we also serve as subcontractors for a number of major projects.

The following projects are just a sampling of CCRG’s past projects.

US-131 S-Curve Realignment Project in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Upon completion of this project for Michigan’s Department of Transportation, CCRG determined that there was a potential for deeply buried archaeological deposits in this urban area. CCRG received the National Quality Initiative Bronze Award for partnering with the Michigan Department of Transportation on this project.

Rosedale Park Historic District in Detroit, Michigan

For the Rosedale Park Historic District within the city of Detroit, CCRG surveyed approximately 1,500 resources, including residential, commercial and religious properties, as well as brick gateways which mark the entrance into the neighborhood. CCRG gathered extensive information for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), creating a picture of both the architecture and those who resided in the area.

Wauwatosa Road in Mequon, Wisconsin

CCRG helped project engineers design the reconstruction of this road to avoid any adverse consequences to the NRHP resources in question.

US 63: Minnesota border to WIS 35, Wisconsin

Over the course of this project, CCRG first prepared an archaeological resource assessment report that was used to develop design alternatives. CCRG then conducted archaeological and geomorphological surveys within three proposed design alternatives for the proposed US-63 reconstruction. Working with historic maps and previous archaeological site reports, CCRG identified a partially intact burial mound within the right-of-way.
