What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Whitehall city council voted to allow City Manager Dan Tavernier to pursue a federal Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving Transportation (PROTECT) grant. The Michigan Infrastructure Office Technical Assistance Center (MiTAC) provided grant-writing support for the application. If awarded, the funds would finance the Benson Road Flooding Resilience Project, which involves 0.9 miles of road reconstruction.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The federal grant covers 80% of the total project cost, requiring the city to provide a 20% match. The council authorized the City Manager to appropriate funds up to $450,000 to meet this required cost share. The application deadline is October 9.
