MUSKEGON, Mich — Two West Michigan cities will benefit from a state grant to help repair local roads, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Wednesday.
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is awarding nine state Transportation Economic Development Fund (TEDF) Category F grants to cities and road commissions across the state.
Muskegon and Zeeland will each receive $375,000 for select projects, including Roberts Street in Muskegon and Main Avenue in Zeeland.
"From day one, I've been laser-focused on fixing the damn roads and bridges," Whitmer said. "Today, I'm proud to announce nine local transportation economic development grants that will help rebuild important corridors in these communities.
"Road projects like these connect workers to jobs and provide important links for our communities. Since I took office, we have invested nearly $4.75 billion to repair, replace, or rehabilitate nearly 13,200 lane miles of road and 903 bridges, and we must do more. I will work with anyone to get the job done."
More information regarding the awarded projects is available at the Category F section of TEDF website.
