MDOT awards grants to projects that will support more than
478 jobs and investment in Detroit and Grayling

LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) announced today two state Transportation Economic Development Fund (TEDF) grants that will support a total of 478 new jobs and $3.1 billion of private investment in the city of Detroit and Grayling Township.  

 

“Today’s investments to fix the damn roads will support 478 good-paying jobs and more than $3 billion of investment in Detroit and Grayling,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. “In 2025, we’re focused on growing our economy, creating jobs for Michiganders, and making sure Michigan leads the future of key industries from health care and manufacturing to defense. These projects will upgrade roads around Henry Ford Health and improved access to Saab, Inc. and the Grayling community so we can keep moving our state forward. Let’s keep working together to power our economic development strategy and make Michigan an even better place to live, work, and invest.”
