The purpose of the Michigan Infrastructure Office Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is to provide technical assistance, planning, and matching grants to local units of government, planning organizations, and federally recognized Tribal nations to help draw federal infrastructure money to Michigan’s communities.
TAC provides a suite of resources to support Michigan communities in applying for federal grant funding. TAC is continuing to build out the full range of resources. TAC currently offers three key support services: grant identification, grant writing, and match funding. These three services will be available to eligible recipients by an application to TAC. TAC will continue to expand support offerings for additional entities in the future. For more information, please reach out to Kris Brady, bradyk4@michigan.gov.
