The Village already has been approved for grant funding through the Michigan Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Infrastructure Capacity Enhancement (ICE) program offered through the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
With this grant money, The Village will be fixing up Fourth Street, addressing both road surface and drainage problems. Construction should take place in mid to late May.
We are also applying for another CDBG ICE grant for watermain improvements on Fifth St, Wyckoff, and State St. The application is due on February 22nd.
Improvements we can make to the Village with grant funds and only a small amount of Village funds is a great benefit to the entire community.
