Canton board backs SEMCOG grant application for Fellows Creek green infrastructure; $300,000 award cap noted
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution to support an application to the SEMCOG Community Green Infrastructure Grant to fund stormwater projects at Fellows Creek in Flodden Park; the grant has an award cap of $300,000 with no local match required.
The board voted to approve Resolution No. 2026‑42, supporting Canton Township's application to the SEMCOG Community Green Infrastructure Grant for Fellows Creek in Flodden Park.
Staff said the SEMCOG program (funded by a $3.2 million EPA Great Lakes Community Project Grant) will help reduce flooding and improve water quality regionally. Canton’s proposal would focus on removing phosphorus from Fellows Creek, increasing infiltration through rain gardens, bioswales and prairie zones with native plants. The award cap is $300,000 and the application requires no local match.
Director Lefevre described a recent on‑site walk‑through with SEMCOG staff and said SEMCOG offered design assistance that the township will incorporate in the application. The board approved the resolution by voice vote.
