Infrastructure Assistance

About Infrastructure Assistance

Public Works, under Michigan Public Act 185, can help local communities address their infrastructure needs by providing communities with the financial and technical assistance needed to construct wastewater, water supply, and solid waste management facilities.

Local communities that partner with Division of Public Works receive help with projects as described above as well as establishing lake management projects. View the Comprehensive List of Board of Public Works Projects (PDF).
