U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced more than $2 million in federal grants to three Southeast Michigan organizations at a news conference in William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor, overlooking the Detroit River. The grants are part of President Obama's Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a $475 million program that represents the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades. A total of 99 grants for an estimated $63 million are expected to be awarded in Michigan. Funded projects will advance the goals and objectives of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Action Plan which EPA Administrator Jackson announced in cooperation with 15 other participating agencies and the Great Lakes governors in February.
