Marquette, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – The Michigan State Housing Development Authority has awarded a grant to Marquette and Houghton Counties to help demolish four to five blighted residential buildings.
The $83,400 Community Development Block Grant will be used to demolish three buildings in Marquette County’s Republic Township and one to two buildings in the Village of Calumet in Houghton County.
