SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (Jan. 26, 2022) — Sen. Jeremy Moss (D-Southfield) issued the following statement after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer made infrastructure a highlight of her fourth State of the State address this evening: 

“I’m proud to represent Detroit’s inner-ring suburbs. My hometown was Michigan’s fastest growing community a half-century ago and was in urgent need of serious investment in our infrastructure a half-century later. After years of neglect of our roads and bridges — especially in the wake of a changing climate which has accelerated this crisis — I’ve been partnering with Governor Whitmer to rebuild our state from the ground up and ensure Michigan is once again prioritizing critical infrastructure projects that provide good-paying jobs.  

“As a result of our work on the budget, we are delivering real results in southern Oakland County, including: investing millions for Southfield road projects, upgrading Lathrup Village’s storm ditch system, and many more improvements that our residents will feel throughout the district.”
