Grant funding passed by the Senate will encourage population growth, drive business development in District 10
LANSING, Mich. (Oct. 12, 2023) — Following the recent announcement of $99.2 million in Revitalization and Placemaking Program (RAP 2.0) grants, including $1.8 million for projects in District 10, Sen. Paul Wojno (D-Warren) issued the following statement:
“I am proud to have worked alongside my colleagues and Gov. Whitmer to secure investments for District 10. These key real estate development projects will ensure residents have access to state-of-the-art restaurants and dance studios as well as quality healthcare. The Warren area is rapidly growing in vibrancy and culture — and these investments are reflective of that. I look forward to the upcoming budget cycles where I can deliver even more wins for my constituents.”
Portions of the grants will be allocated towards supporting Michigan’s 10 prosperity regions — including funding for The Deco, The Arthur Murray and Urgent Care in Sen. Wojno’s district.
The original RAP program awarded $83.8 million in federal American Rescue Plan dollars in September 2022. This second iteration of the impactful program RAP 2.0 received an appropriation of $100 million in the budget supplemental, Senate Bill 7, which was signed by Gov. Whitmer in February 2023.
