Ottawa County, Spring Lake, Wayland and Wyoming Receive Grants Totaling Over $200k

Ottawa County, Spring Lake, Wayland and Wyoming were among 16 municipalities receiving more than $6.6 million to offset local government costs associated with mergers, consolidations, inter-local agreements, and cooperative efforts among municipalities, authorities, and school districts.

More than $6.6 million in funding, through the Competitive Grant Assistance Program (CGAP), will be awarded to 16 local units of government across Michigan in the second round of Fiscal Year 2014 funding.

“The municipalities that have been awarded funding in this round are continuing to take important steps toward cost-saving collaborations and in many cases, full consolidations of municipal services,” Gov. Rick Snyder said. “These kind of efforts are good for communities and residents who will benefit from increased cooperative partnerships and improved services and simultaneously good for taxpayers with the resulting savings.”

The following communities will receive CGAP Grants for the second round of Fiscal Year 2014:
