LANSING, Mich. – Two Marquette County parks will receive grants for upgrades as part of the Land and Water Conservation Fund grants. Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) made the announcement yesterday (Wednesday).
The Michigamme Township Park will receive $183,200 for dock access and tennis renovation, and Marquette’s Tourist Park will receive $250,000 for day-use access road and parking area improvements.
The Great American Outdoors Act, signed into law in August 2020, established permanent funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. With the change in legislation, the state will see more fiscal stability and increased funding in the LWCF grant program.
