MATTAWAN, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A major bridge project in Mattawan will benefit through a budget measure recently approved by the Michigan Legislature and signed into law.
66th District Representative Beth Griffin has secured a 1.1 million dollar investment to help Mattawan replace the bridge on County Road 652 in Van Buren County, otherwise known as Main Street as it goes through town.
In a release issued by her office, Griffen said, “This is Mattawan’s Main Street – rolling right through the heart of the village. The bridge project has been a top priority for our community for years, and these resources will help get it to the finish line. It’s a great example of how we are putting resources to work in ways that will benefit our community – and our children and grandchildren – for years to come.”
The investment is included in a historic infrastructure plan approved by the Legislature last week and signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer on Wednesday, March 30. The broad measure is also set to boost access to broadband internet in rural areas, fight PFAS and protect drinking water, and improve roads and public parks across the state.
The measures are contained in Senate Bill 565.
