*Gov. Whitmer Announces Grants to Villages and Small Cities for Road Repair*
*LANSING, Mich.* - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced today 39 villages and cities across the state with populations less than 10,000 that will receive road funding grants awarded through the Community Service Infrastructure Fund (CSIF) Category B program [ [link removed] ]. Established by the state Legislature in 2018 and administered by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the CSIF is a stop-gap program to help fund road projects in small communities. Successful projects were selected, in part, because they are paired with planned infrastructure work, coordinated with other road agencies, focused on extending the useful life of the road and have limited other funding sources.
"I ran on fixing the damn roads, and I'm proud to keep my promise and get it done," said *Gov. Whitmer.* "This year's balanced, bipartisan budget makes a record nearly $2 billion annual investment to fix our state and local roads, which will make everyone's drive safer and faster. We're getting this done by ensuring every penny you pay at the pump goes toward our roads. I'm so grateful to legislators on both sides of the aisle for coming together to get this done so we can build reliable roads that last for decades while supporting tens of thousands of good-paying local jobs. We have a lot of work to do, so let's move some dirt and fix those damn roads!"
Grant awards range from $50,000 to $250,000 for road resurfacing, culvert replacement, pavement crack sealing and other preservative measures.

The CSIF Category B program was enacted in 1987 and reauthorized in 1993 to provide as a stop gap measure for villages and small cities to finance highway, road and street projects that are critical to the movement of people and products, and for getting workers to their jobs, materials to growers and manufacturers, and finished goods to consumers.
