Royal Oak and Southfield are about to get some tender-loving investment from Oakland Community College. The school plans to spend $2.5 million renovating its campuses in both of the cities.

The money will mainly help upgrade parking and lighting at the two campuses. The Southfield campus will receive $1.425 million in new asphalt and lighting replacements. The Royal Oak campus is in line for $1.111 million in low-voltage lighting control and light replacements.

Fitting the bill for these upgrades is the 0.8-mill property tax Oakland County voters approved in 2001.

Oakland Community College, Michigan's largest community college, has five campuses throughout the county that serves about 70,000 students.
