More Funding Coming to Detroit Green Spaces

Governor Rick Snyder signed a bill this week approving $102 million in grants to the Natural Resources Trust Fund.  Close to $35 million from that grant will go to William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor, Detroit Riverwalk and the Dequindre Cut.  The following acquisition projects were recommended for funding:

•  $20 million would be used to acquire three to six large private inholding parcels and trail easements along the Detroit Riverfront as additions to the William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor.

•  $9 million would be used by the DNRE to acquire 48,000 square feet of built-out space in the
  Globe Building for the William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor Adventure and Discovery
  Center in downtown Detroit.

• $5 million would be used by the DNRE to acquire public use easements and land acquisitions along the
  Detroit River from the Ambassador Bridge to the MacArthur Bridge as part of a 5-mile-long
  public greenway.

• $375,000 would be used to acquire a 0.7-mile section of abandoned rail corridor in downtown Detroit that continues the Dequindre Cut north, connecting the Detroit Riverfront to the historic Eastern Market.
