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.

The grants fund specific projects, services, or strategies, including infrastructure and public safety enhancements, that move a city, village, or township toward financial stability.
