The Michigan Infrastructure Office Launches Online Tools to Connect Communities with Federal Infrastructure Funding Opportunities
Community Navigator and Infrastructure Investment Tracker tools to display key Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) program information, deadlines, and funding
LANSING, Mich. — Today, the Michigan Infrastructure Office (MIO) launched a set of online tools to serve Michigan communities as a one-stop shop to learn how to connect with federal infrastructure funding opportunities, request technical assistance from the state and track project funding. The tools include the Community Navigator and Infrastructure Investment Tracker, which currently track projects ranging from roads to water to high-speed internet.
“We are incredibly excited about the launch of these online tools, as it both holds us accountable and provides full transparency to the residents of Michigan on the infrastructure projects in process,” said Michigan’s Chief Infrastructure Officer Zachary Kolodin. “We believe it’s important for all Michiganders to have visibility of the dollars coming in, and this funding has the power to be transformative and empower communities across the state.”
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is making a difference all across Michigan,” said U.S. Senator Gary Peters. “I’m proud to have helped enact this law that’s supporting good-paying jobs and improving roads, bridges and high-speed internet access – and this new tool from the Whitmer Administration will help provide key information on projects and funding opportunities.”
The Community Navigator tool provides users with information on funding opportunities and how to request state support and collaboration. Additionally, the navigator displays data on Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) programs in Michigan and provides users access to key program information, such as program overviews and eligible project types as well as major deadlines, both announced and estimated.
The Infrastructure Investment Tracker showcases the location and amount awarded to successful applications for federal funding to support infrastructure projects and provides details on how the state is deploying BIL infrastructure funding across the state and throughout the communities.
Both tools will be updated regularly and will be accessible to everyone.
