Measure improves facilities for road improvements
The Michigan House today approved a plan introduced by state Rep. Greg Markkanen to help county road commissions improve their facilities and fix Michigan roads.
Under current Michigan law, county roads commissions have only up to 15 years to make payments when purchasing property for public use. Markkanen’s plan would double that timeframe, allowing road commissions up to 30 years to complete purchases.
“Giving local county road commissions this financial flexibility will help them secure property that can benefit communities,” said Markkanen, of Hancock. “This plan will help local county road commissions invest more money into repairing our roads.”
The plan was brought forward to Rep. Markkanen by Keweenaw County residents.
House Bill 4120 now advances to the Senate for consideration.
