LANSING, MI— Two grants are headed to the U.P. to help residents make home repairs, energy efficiency upgrades and neighborhood amenity improvements.
The Neighborhood Enhancement Program provides funding for an array of small-scale single-family home rehabilitation activities like roofs, siding, windows, doors and accessibility improvements. Up to 50 percent of the funding can also go toward public amenity activities like park improvements, basketball courts and more.
The City of Ironwood is getting $45,000 and the Gogebic-Ontonagon Community Action Agency has been awarded $30,000.
The funding will be distributed to 11 local units of government and 22 nonprofit agencies serving both urban and rural communities statewide.
