Summary
The county board voted to submit a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund application seeking $613,736 for accessibility improvements at Lexington Park and approved a county match of $306,868 (50% of the project) to be made available in fiscal 2026–27.
Sanilac County commissioners voted Feb. 17 to authorize submission of an application to the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund seeking $613,736 to fund accessibility improvements at Lexington Park.
The resolution, offered by Commissioner Evans Ehart and read aloud during the meeting, specifies that the county will make a financial commitment of $306,868 — 50% of the total project cost — available in the 2026–27 fiscal year. "Sanilac County is hereby making a financial commitment to the project in amount of $306,868," the resolution text read during the meeting.
Board members voted on the resolution after it was moved and supported; the clerk recorded a unanimous roll call in favor. Supporters said the grant and match would enable physical upgrades to park access. The resolution directs staff to submit the Natural Resources Trust Fund application and confirms the county's intent to provide the matching funds if the grant is awarded.
The board took the vote during the general resolutions portion of the agenda; no motions to amend or delay the resolution were recorded. The action advances the county's plans to pursue state grant funding and commits a specific county match, subject to appropriation in the stated fiscal year.
