Capital Communities Get $1.2 Million in Stimulus Money for Streetscape Updates

$1.2 million in transportation enhancements funded with federal stimulus funds will flow to three streetscape updates in Lansing, Webberville and Eaton Rapids.

The projects were announced Thursday by Lt. Gov. John Cherry. Some of the projects had previously been planned as part of road and bridge improvements announced for Michigan.

Steudle said in a press release.
