Rep. Sorensen earmark of $1.092M for south Macomb stormwater improvements announced
Summary
Council was told that U.S. Rep. Eric Sorensen secured a $1,092,000 earmark for stormwater improvements in south Macomb in an appropriations bill that, at the time of the meeting, was on the president's desk.
The chair told the Committee of the Whole that U.S. Rep. Eric Sorensen had secured an appropriations earmark of $1,092,000 for stormwater improvements in the south half of Macomb, and that the appropriation language was included in the appropriations bill passed by both the House and Senate and was on the president's desk at the time the chair relayed the news.
The chair said Congressman Sorensen had toured the affected neighborhoods previously and that the earmark would "go a long way into helping remedy and rectify" stormwater issues identified by residents and staff. No project schedule or matching-fund requirements were provided during the meeting; staff said more details would follow as state or federal guidance becomes available.
Council thanked Congressman Sorensen for the work on the earmark. No formal council action was taken at the Committee of the Whole on this announcement; staff will follow up as the federal process moves forward.
