Northville, Detroit score downtown streetscape grants

Three local communities will benefit from Michigan Department of Transportation grants, which allow investment in trail and streetscape projects.

Grants were awarded to projects across Michigan, with
downtown Northville, downtown Lake Orion, and Detroit's Midtown neighborhood landing investment dollars.

  • The city of Northville will make improvements to its downtown visual character, walkability, safety, and accessibility, while helping promote economic vitality. The streetscape project area includes Main Street, between Wing and Hutton streets, and Center Street, between Cady and Dunlap streets.

The project cost is $1.3 million, including $685,880 in federal funds and an equivalent in matching funds from the city.
