THE ROAD AHEAD
The Grand Traverse County Road Commission is the recipient of several safety grants, ARRA - Federal Stimulus Funds and BIA-ARRA - Tribal Stimulus Funds. There will be much road work activity in our county this year. Because the funds are coming from grants and other project-specific funding sources, those dollars cannot be redirected for routine maintenance.
We are thankful for these other sources of revenue as they do benefit the overall transportation system in our county. Click projects to see the list for 2010.
