Public improvements possible with grant money


BY MARY FINN

Recently thirty five Michigan communities received more than eighteen million dollars to fund public projects.

From the $18.1 million the city of Au Gres was given three quarters of a million dollars.

The money will be used for sewer and street upgrades. Governor Granholm says these can be critical to attracting business investments and building communities.

Pat Killingbeck city manager of Au Gres said she was shocked when her application for funding was approved.

"We're extremely excited and we are beginning to work as we speak on these projects".

Killingbeck also said that they will be applying again for more money towards more improvements.
