Here’s a little bit of that stimulus money coming into the county. It’s hard to get real excited about, but….according to an MDOT news release yesterday:
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is scheduled to begin resurfacing carpool lots on US-23 and M-24. The first phase of the project begins at the US-23 Fenton carpool lot in Genesee County, then proceeds to the M-24 Columbia carpool lot in Lapeer County. Crews will wrap up work, completing the second phase of this project, at the M-24 Fostoria carpool lot, located in Lapeer County.
These projects are funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). A total of $97,500 in ARRA funds is allocated to resurface the Fenton and Columbia lots. The ARRA investment for the Fostoria project is $60,000.
….There will be no disruption to traffic. The carpool lots will be closed to the public for the duration of this work, which is scheduled to be completed by early August.
Work starts July 13. I’m thinking what they really meant to say there was Columbiaville, not Columbia.
