This is all part of the construction for the pedestrian walkway, a project of the Van Buren Township Downtown Development Authority. The DDA has $250,000 grants each from MDOT and the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, along with engineering work by the county. The DDA also sold a bond for $2 million. Work is expected to be complete by mid-November.
