SHELBY — The Village of Shelby is one of 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, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced.
The $246,500 in funding is aimed at repairs to South Michigan Avenue, Bennett Street and Grant Street, according to a press release from Gov. Whitmer’s office.
The Michigan Department of Transportation will match that amount, creating $493,000 in total funding for the road improvement project planned for 2026, according to the village. The three streets slated for new pavement are subject to change, however, according to the village.
“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,” states the press release. “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.”
“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,” stated Whitmer. 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.”
Grant awards range from $50,000 to $250,000 for road resurfacing, culvert replacement, pavement crack sealing and other preservative measures.
