June 2, 2009 -- WASHINGTON — U.S. Senators Carl Levin (D-MI) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) announced today that Michigan has been awarded more than $7,386,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding through the U.S. Forest Service. The funding will be used to improve water quality and fish habitats, maintain Forest Service roads and for other enhancements.
“This Forest Service funding will help numerous communities in Michigan make necessary improvements during a tough economic stretch,” said Levin. “I am hopeful that these projects will create much-needed jobs in Michigan and help protect Michigan’s natural resources at the same time.”
“This recovery funding will help support a number of projects aimed at improving our forest service roads, preserving our watersheds and protecting our environment,” said Stabenow. “By supporting these projects, we can ease access to our natural treasures, which will help create good paying jobs in Michigan as well.”
Established in 1905, the Forest Service is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Forest Service manages public lands in national forests and grasslands.
The funding announced today is in addition to previous ARRA funding distributed by the Forest Service. Please visit http://www.fs.fed.us/arra/arra-releasedfsprojects-2009-6-2pm.pdf for the full listing.
