| Michigan's roads, railroads, bridges, and airports are the arteries of Michigan's economy. Recovery Act dollars will soon put Michigan workers on the job upgrading our existing infrastructure, and building on the new opportunities for expanded public transportation, railroads, and aviation facilities. Recovery Act infrastructure dollars will also help us ensure that all Michigan citizens have access to clean water. |
