Gogebic County, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – Federal funding could be coming to help repair roads in Gogebic County damaged by last month’s severe storms.
State officials formally requested the assistance from the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief Program.
The affected areas include portions of Lake Road along Lake Superior as well as various culverts within the county.
The Michigan Department of Transportation recently sent the request to begin the formal application process.
The request also included a copy of Governor Rick Snyder’s July 15th disaster declaration outlining the severe damage inflicted by the storm.
Snyder says his office is continuing to explore funding options to help Gogebic County communities recover.
