Approval of the Stormwater Infrastructure Repair Fund (SIRF) Eligibility Authorization for the Grant Township Highway Department’s South Shore Long Lake Drainage Improvements Project

Staff Summary

                     The project includes grading new swales and installing new storm sewers to improve stormwater conveyance in five residential locations south of Long Lake.

                     The proposed project will reduce flooding throughout the community, ensuring safer access for local residents and emergency vehicles, eliminating building flooding and structural damage, and protecting downstream water quality.
