The Macomb County Board of Commissioners approved a budget amendment to accept a $120,000 Michigan Health Endowment Fund grant to aid planning and engineering design for non-motorized trails in the county.

A county staffer told commissioners Macomb County was one of 10 communities selected for this funding. "The funding would help complete the planning as well as the engineering design," the staff member said. The item was presented as a budget amendment and was included in the public services package approved by the board.

Commissioners had no substantive questions at the meeting and the board approved the amendment as part of the consent of similar public-services items.

Staff did not detail the specific trail segments to be designed in the meeting; the grant was described as supporting planning and design work. County staff and commissioners said they would take any questions as the project advances.
