WEST MICHIGAN — The city of Ludington is seeking a $14 million federal transportation grant to “repower” the coal-fired S.S. Badger to preserve the historic cross-lake ferry service to Manitowoc. If the city is successful in securing the federal “stimulus” money for the private Lake Michigan Carferry, the Badger would receive new diesel engines that would allow the ferry operator to end the practice of dumping coal ash in Lake Michigan.
