Funding will provide for pavement repairs throughout residential subdivisions
The Wayne County Commission approved an intergovernmental agreement between the Charter County of Wayne and the Charter Township of Canton not to exceed $773,500 for the Local Partnering Initiative for township roads for the Local Road Improvements Program to allow for pavement repairs for various subdivision locations at their April 7 meeting.
“Approval of this intergovernmental agreement is great news for every Canton Township resident,” added Wayne County Commissioner Melissa Daub (D-Canton). “These funds will go a long to way make needed residential road repairs and improvements in numerous subdivisions throughout the Township. I am very pleased that the Commission and Township approved this important agreement that will provide significant infrastructure improvements.”
This agreement will provide Canton Township with $773,500 from the county along with a $773,500 match from Canton Township for the Local Partnering Initiative.
“We serve our residents and communities well when we focus on funding projects that bring tangible and lasting results for our constituents,” commented Wayne County Commission Chair Alisha Bell (D-District 7). “I am very pleased to partner with Canton Township to help facilitate these essential road repairs and improvements that will go a long way to improve the daily lives of so many.”
The project will be implemented in two phases, with Group 1 consisting of concrete pavement repairs, including paving of gravel surfaces and any necessary sidewalk repairs, at the following subdivisions: Glengarry Village; Century Farms; Fairways West; Kirkway; Pickwick Village; and Windsor Park.
