Michigan State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks today announced a total of $2.5 million is being awarded to 13 municipalities through the Financially Distressed Cities, Villages and Townships (FDCVT) Grant Program.
Benton Harbor is included on the list. $183,220 will go toward public safety enhancement through replacement of communications equipment in the City.
Municipalities can participate in the FDCVT Grant Program if they are experiencing one or more conditions indicative of “probable financial distress” as defined in state law. The grants fund specific projects, services, or strategies, including infrastructure and public safety enhancements, that move a city, village or township toward financial stability.
