Michigan’s infrastructure is a “D” on the American Society of Civil

Engineers' report card on state infrastructures

37% of Michigan’s major roads are in poor condition

27% of our bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete

Thousands of lead service lines are being replaced in Flint

Michigan’s infrastructure needs have been put off for decades

The Problem

Vision Statement

Michigan will lead the nation in building a 21st century infrastructure system for the next economy that will include, at a minimum, innovative technology, sustainable funding solutions, true cost of service principles, and a collaborative and integrated asset management approach that will enhance Michiganders’ quality of life and build strong communities for the future.

• Federal and state regulations banned sale of lead-based paint in 1978, but still found in older homes and in the soil around them.

• 80% of housing in Grand Rapids was built before 1978

• Even small amounts ingested by young children can lead to brain damage, poor physical growth and development, social problems, behavioral problems, and learning disabilities.

• Of 4,221 children tested, 11% were lead poisoned

• 49507 zip code had the most lead-poisoned children in the state.

attractive, multimodal and safe; serving all people of our

community, contributing to the livability of our neighborhoods and

business districts, protecting the quality of our river, and

increasing economic opportunity to individuals, businesses,

and new development.

Infrastructure assets will be maintained and well-

managed, using a multi-faceted funding and educational

strategy and innovative approaches to preserve our investment.
