Michigan State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks recently announced a total of $2.5 million being awarded to 13 municipalities through the Financially Distressed Cities, Villages and Townships (FDCVT) Grant Program, including one community each in Huron and Sanilac counties.
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. The grants fund specific projects, services, or strategies, including infrastructure and public safety enhancements, that move a city, village or township toward financial stability.
For Fiscal Year 2025, the Michigan Legislature appropriated $2.5 million for the program.
The village of Owendale in Huron County was awarded $476,000 for sewer system enhancement through infrastructure replacement at the sanitary sewer lagoon.
Meanwhile, the village of Peck in Sanilac County received $230,000 for public safety enhancement through the replacement of sidewalks.
