"Local Awards to Help with Municipal Financial Stability"



LANSING, Mich. ? State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks today announced $2.7 million is being awarded to 12 Michigan municipalities to help fund infrastructure and public safety projects as a part of a grant program for municipalities experiencing budget pressures.

?Upgrading infrastructure and improving public safety helps build vibrant communities,? State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. ?These grants help communities facing budget pressures finance important projects. Treasury is always proud to partner with local governments as they seek to improve their communities.?

Under the Financially Distressed Cities, Villages and Townships (FDCVT) Grant Program, municipalities can participate if they are experiencing one or more conditions indicative of ?probable financial distress? as defined in state law [ [link removed] ].
