密歇根州约2300万美元投向基础设施与就业项目 Detroit国民警卫队就绪中心获1050万
密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默近日宣布一批总额约2300万美元的基础设施与就业项目投资，资金来自「让密歇根成功竞争力基金」（Make it in Michigan Competitiveness Fund）。惠特默表示：「让我们继续共同努力，发展我们的经济，帮助人们在密歇根『成功』。」
本批投资包括：1050万美元拨给密歇根州军事与退伍军人事务部，在Detroit奥林匹亚国民警卫队军械库新建一座就绪中心；350万美元给KMI Space用于航天器开发；250万美元给Detroit市扩建Joe Louis绿道；200万美元通过密歇根大学伙伴关系用于核能劳动力培训；此外还有约尼亚图书馆翻修、门罗港改善、兰斯港扩建的待定拨款、Detroit市中心为I-75加盖的规划工作，以及推进西密歇根农业经济的项目。
密歇根基础设施办公室主任凯文·梅伦表示：「这些拨款中，每1美元州款撬动逾5美元联邦资金，为密歇根纳税人带来强劲回报，也让关键工作持续推进。」据州政府，该办公室自成立以来已帮助密歇根争取逾160亿美元联邦资金，涵盖道路、桥梁、交通系统与宽带；竞争力基金至今已投入逾3.2亿美元，州款与撬动的联邦及私人投入合计回报比接近10比1。
Michigan Directs About $23 Million to Infrastructure and Workforce Projects, Including $10.5 Million Detroit Readiness Center
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced a round of investments totaling about $23 million in infrastructure and workforce projects across Michigan, funded through the Make it in Michigan Competitiveness Fund. "Let's keep working together to grow our economy and help people 'make it' in Michigan," Whitmer said.
The awards include $10.5 million to the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs for constructing a new Readiness Center at the Olympia National Guard Armory in Detroit; $3.5 million to KMI Space for spacecraft development; $2.5 million to the City of Detroit for expanding the Joe Louis Greenway; and $2 million through a University of Michigan partnership focused on nuclear workforce training. The round also includes funds for a library renovation in Ionia, improvements at Monroe's port, pending awards supporting L'Anse Port expansion, planning work on capping I-75 in downtown Detroit, and advancing West Michigan's agricultural economy.
Kevin Mehren, director of the Michigan Infrastructure Office, said the awards deliver more than $5 in federal funding for every state dollar, a strong return for Michigan taxpayers that also keeps critical work moving forward. The Governor's Office said the Michigan Infrastructure Office has helped secure over $16 billion in federal funding covering roads, bridges, transit systems and broadband access statewide since its establishment, and that the Competitiveness Fund has invested over $320 million so far with an almost 10-to-1 return ratio when leveraged federal investments and private contributions are combined.
