East Lansing Crafts Community Plan for Federal Stimulus Money

East Lansing is just one of many communities in the Capital region making plans for the president’s stimulus money. East Lansing City Manager Ted Staton has a list of $36 million in projects he wants to jump start with the money.

According to excerpts from the article:

East Lansing City Manager Ted Staton said the city has drafted a list of potential projects that could use funding from the stimulus package. The list totals about $36 million.

One of the proposed projects is the reconstruction of the entire length of Harrison Avenue, Staton said. It would cost about $1,750,000 for repairs between Mt. Hope Road and Kalamazoo Street.

“We’ve had this on the list of projects to pursue for a couple years now,” Staton said. “The stimulus plan would allow us to get it all to be reconstructed in 2009.”
