Kent County Road Commission gets $650,000 for city road projects
MDOT has matched funds from the Federal government to jump-start major road improvements in and around the city. The match brings total investments to over $1.25 million.
According to the story:
The Kent County Road Commission received a $650,000 check from the Michigan Department of Transportation Tuesday morning.
It’s part of a program Governor Granholm initiated in July to jump-start local road construction projects and create jobs.
The check will match funds from the Federal government to help pay for 4 road projects.
The projects are on Kalamazoo Avenue, 68th Street, Cascade Road and on Patterson.
Local road officials say the money also helps with other projects as well.
