READING, MI (WTVB) – Reading is among 25 villages and cities in Michigan with populations less than 10,000 that will be getting a share of $3.7 million in road funding grants through the Transportation Economic Development Fund.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced the awarding of the grants on Wednesday.
She stated, “With these dollars, communities can get started on fixing their roads to meet their most critical infrastructure needs at the local level right now. I look forward to making further investments in our roads and bridges under our Rebuilding Michigan plan and using the influx of federal dollars headed our way under the proposed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to help people get to work, pick their kids up from school, or take the family on a road trip without worrying about blowing a tire or cracking an axle.”
Reading will get $250,000 from the state to help fund a nearly $1 million project on Michigan Street.
Grant awards range from $34,000 to $250,000 to each community for road resurfacing, culvert replacement, pavement crack sealing, and shoulder paving.
See www.Michigan.gov/TEDF for the project list and details.
The fund was established by the state Legislature in 2018 and it’s administered by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
