Granted

The City of Westland was recently awarded a $4.75 million grant for fire department and Wayne Road streetscaping projects. The grant was part of approved Michigan State budget appropriations for 2024-2025, according to Westland Mayor Kevin Coleman. Projects to be funded include $3.5 million for upgrades to Fire Station Number Four on Palmer Road, $1 million for streetscaping and beautification of Wayne Road and $250,000 for 2024 special election reimbursement funds. “I would like to thank Sen. Dayna Polehanki, far left, and State Rep. Peter Herzberg for their hard work in advocating for the City of Westland in Lansing,” said Coleman, center. “This much needed funding will be used to invest in public safety and local infrastructure for our city.”
