"$2.8 Million Awarded for Infrastructure and Public Safety Projects"

LANSING, Mich. ? State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks today announced a total of $2.8 million is being awarded to 13 municipalities through the Financially Distressed Cities, Villages and Townships (FDCVT) Grant Program.

Municipalities can participate in the FDCVT Grant Program if they are experiencing one or more conditions indicative of ?probable financial distress? as defined in Public Act 436 of 2012, the Local Financial Stability and Choice Act.? The grants fund specific projects, services, or strategies, including infrastructure and public safety enhancements, that move a city, village, or township toward financial stability.
