Project Grant 067906389

The City of New Buffalo, Michigan was awarded a $2.4 million project grant from the Department of Commerce's Economic Adjustment Assistance program to expand the municipal marina. The grant will support expanding critical economic infrastructure in the region that has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic through devastating layoffs and business closures. Once completed, the expanded marina project will diversify the local economy, promote economic sustainability, and expand job opportunities throughout the area. The Economic Adjustment Assistance program through the Department of Commerce provides technical, planning, public works, and infrastructure assistance to regions experiencing adverse economic changes over time or suddenly, such as those resulting from the pandemic.
