LANSING, MI (WTVB) -State Rep. Jennifer Wortz has announced legislative approval of two of her funding requests that will improve services for families across Michigan’s 35th House District.
The City of Hudson Senior Center received $60,000 to address aging infrastructure and improve the safety and functionality of the facility. Planned improvements include repairs to the kitchen, flooring, and interior spaces essential for daily meal preparation and senior programming.
The Senior Center serves as a vital community resource by providing congregate meals, wellness activities, social engagement, and access to essential services for older adults in Hudson and the surrounding community.
Sherwood Township also received $45,000 to improve fire protection by providing a reliable local water supply for firefighting operations. Currently, the fire department depends on neighboring communities to shuttle water from more than seven miles away, delaying emergency response times and increasing the risk of property loss. Funding will support the drilling and installation of a new well, providing a long-term solution that will strengthen emergency response and improve public safety for the township.
Wortz says “Protecting our communities starts with ensuring our first responders have the resources they need to do their jobs safely and effectively,” she added, “reliable water source will greatly improve emergency response capabilities. These improvements will allow our firefighters to respond more quickly and effectively while reducing reliance on neighboring departments during emergencies.”
