This project was dropped between the Township and the City because the City was able to receive the grant funds and complete the project without help from the Township.

This project is collaboration between the Township of Ypsilanti, the City of Ypsilanti, and MDOT with a Federal Government grant. The Township of Ypsilanti will advance $352,000.00 to the City of Ypsilanti to allow reconstruction of Grove Road. The sum or $352,000.000 represents the eighty (80%) percent match which will be reimbursed by the Federal Government through MDOT for the reconstruction of Grove Road. The City will remit the amount of the advance to the Township when the City receives said funds from MDOT.

The savings to the Township is the safety of the residents using the corridor road between the City of Ypsilanti and the Township of Ypsilanti.

A joint board named the "Grove Road Improvement Board" which members shall be the City Manager, or his designee, the Township Supervisor, or her designee, and the Project Manager designated by OHM will review the progress monthly.
