"$2.5 Million Awarded for Infrastructure
and Public Safety Projects"
LANSING, Mich. – State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks today announced a total of $2.5 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 state law [ [link removed] ]. The grants fund specific projects, services, or strategies, including infrastructure and public safety enhancements, that move a city, village or township toward financial stability.
“This year, the Michigan Department of Treasury awarded grants for infrastructure and public safety projects in communities spanning from Southeast Michigan to the Upper Peninsula,” State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. “Funded projects help provide movement toward financial stability for our local communities. Our team will ensure these grants are provided to our communities as expeditiously as possible.”
For Fiscal Year 2025, the Michigan Legislature appropriated $2.5 million for the program, with a carryover of $13,049 from the previous fiscal year. The FDCVT Grant Program has a $2 million cap per municipality and grants are awarded based on applications submitted by the municipality.
