The Village of Central Lake will soon be home to two revamped outdoor spaces.
By Jessica Lovay, Office Manager/Grant Administrator
The Village of Central Lake is gearing up for some outdoor space renovations this year. They have been working with representatives from NLEA and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) to complete the necessary applications and steps for receipt of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
The $251,350 in grant funds will assist in the installation of five permanent docks in Thurston Park and constructing a 40’x70’ pavilion with adjacent public restrooms and a storage room totaling 21’x19’ on the corner of North and Main Street. Project activities also include: installation of a water and sewer line for the restrooms, tree removal at the pavilion site, and preparation of the pavilion parking lot.
As a Rising Tide Community, the Village of Central Lake is working to create a thriving downtown and comprehensive brand to make Central Lake a premier destination spot in Northern Michigan. The new pavilion and permanent docks will only help enhance a more positive live, work, play atmosphere.
The MEDC offers a variety of opportunities and grant programs for more projects than just façade work. Contact NLEA by Email or 231-582-6482 to discuss potential projects and available assistance.
