Quentin Groce, representing U.S. Sen. Gary Peters’ office, told the Grand Blanc City Council on Feb. 11 that the city had been awarded a $1,000,000 earmark for a water main project through the Blast the Mains Project.
City Manager Wendy Jean‑Buhrer and DPW Director Matt Wurtz noted the difficulty in securing state and federal funding and credited the manager’s persistence for helping obtain the award.
