Statement by Congressman Dan Kildee on $20 million Grant to Fix Flint’s Infrastructure
Congressman Dan Kildee issued the following statement today after the U.S. Department of Transportation announced a $20 million grant to rebuild portions of Flint’s three major roadways and water main replacement:
“I applaud President Barack Obama and Secretary Foxx for their continued support for the city of Flint. This funding comes at a crucial time and will help to rebuild Flint’s infrastructure from the ground up. Replacing the water mains and completing much needed road repairs is a vital step in the process of Flint’s recovery. However, the Administration’s efforts alone are not enough, and I will continue to fight in Congress for actions that will bring long term investments and resources to the residents of Flint.”
