Business professionals should keep up on the local political news to see what changes are likely to impact their businesses. When there are changes in policies it impacts the district and in turn prospects for growth. What we can say based upon Congress's passing of an infrastructure bill and changes in legislative direction there will likely be improvements to our Upper Peninsula infrastructure.
For example, in Senator McBroom's email bulletin (You can sing up to be on the list. See Senator McBroom) you will find there is Federal recovery money for bridges and the new Michigan Hunting Guide by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is up for perusal (See information below).
Hunting is big business and the tourism dollars it brings Delta County is significant with something like 8.9 billion impact on the state (I think the info is based on a MSU study. Michigan United Conservation Clubs. ) . You can find some additional hunting information on Visit Escanaba.
The following was taken from McBroom's email bulletin......with some adjustment for formatting....
Senate Passes MI Safe Drive plan
The Michigan Senate recently voted to invest $1.3 billion in federal recovery funding to repair Michigan bridges listed in severe condition.
Senate Bill 529 would use $1.3 billion in federal recovery funds to fix bridges across the state in severe condition through bundling, where the design and construction of multiple projects around the state are contracted at the same time. Of the nearly 12,000 bridges in Michigan, 7,038 are managed by local municipalities. Of that number, over 400 are in critical need of repairs.
SB 529 would fund repairs for the bridges in severe condition. The bill also includes over $195 million to cover local road agency revenue losses and $126 million in federal money to improve safety at several intersections between railways and roadways.
SB 529 has been sent to the House of Representatives for consideration.
