The City of DeWitt City Council on Jan. 13 approved a letter of support and a $500,000 fiscal commitment as the city’s local match for a Michigan Economic Development Corporation Public Space RAP grant.
City Administrator Daniel Coss outlined the grant opportunity and provided updated information to the council. Councilmember Michelle Donohue described the planned site as "a multipurpose area beyond just a parking lot," saying she appreciated the broader community use envisioned for the project.
Councilmember Landgraf moved to approve the letter of support and the financial commitment; Councilmember Whitman seconded the motion. The motion carried by unanimous vote. The council did not specify further design details or a construction timeline in the meeting record.
The decision commits $500,000 in local matching funds toward the RAP application; the transcript does not specify additional funding sources, project location details, or a construction schedule.
