The Resilient Lakeshore Heritage Grant Program is a reimbursement grant program intended to support investment in the irreplaceable heritage assets of Michigan’s rural lakeshore communities.
Program funding is specifically for building rehabilitation (i.e., “bricks and mortar”) projects and associated pre-development work in select communities along the Great Lakes. Local units of government, non-profits, public entities, business owners, and non-residential property owners in these communities are eligible to apply for funding.
