Gov. Whitmer announces funding for park upgrades in nine Michigan counties

GW:  Discover how inflation happens by spending money America doesn’t have.  One common denominator is always through the deceptive use of the word “investing.”

Michigan Governor. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced $6,461,500 in recommended Land and Water Conservation Fund grants to support upgrades in eight community parks, trails and sports facilities, as well as one land acquisition – funding that will help create more opportunities for area residents and visitors to connect with the outdoors.

“Today, we’re investing in parks, trails and outdoor recreation facilities in nine counties across Michigan,” said Whitmer. “Since I took office, we have made the largest-ever investments in Michigan’s state and local parks, powered by funding from President Biden’s American Rescue Plan. By investing in Pure Michigan, we support local economies, our fast-growing outdoor recreation industry, and improve quality of life for Michiganders.

“Today’s upgrades will increase access to rivers and nature parks, create outdoor courts and fields, and renovate parks that people of all abilities can use and enjoy every day. Let’s keep working together to make Michigan a better state to live, work and play.”

The projects recommended for funding are in Berrien, Clinton, Keweenaw, Macomb, Muskegon, Oakland, Ottawa, Roscommon and St. Clair counties. That funding will support pickleball courts, sport playfield improvements, campground development, trail and park renovations and improvements, and acquisition of approximately 8,000 acres in the Keweenaw Peninsula.

The DNR uses LWCF dollars to help develop public outdoor recreation facilities to give people better, broader access to quality public outdoor recreation opportunities. The program supports Native American tribes, villages, cities, townships and counties and divisions within the DNR in their efforts to give people better, broader access to quality public outdoor recreation opportunities.

DNR Shares Information on Condition, Options for Belle Isle Boathouse

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is reviewing options for the deteriorated Belle Isle Boathouse, located on the Detroit River in Belle Isle Park, and is inviting the public to learn more about those options and associated costs.

Anyone interested in the future of Belle Isle, broadly, and the boathouse, specifically – visitors, community members, stakeholders and others – is encouraged to visit the project webpage to learn about the options and share feedback by Dec. 31.

Constructed by the Detroit Boat Club in 1902, the 40,000-square-foot boathouse was, for many years, for the exclusive use of its members.

The facility, not to be confused with the Detroit Yacht Club, has been overseen and maintained by the Friends of Detroit Rowing since the mid-1990s under a lease agreement. The lease initially was held with the City of Detroit but transferred to the DNR in 2014 when the department assumed management of the island as a state park. The Friends are responsible for building upkeep, while the DNR handles the park’s overall management. Read more

Stay Warm for Spectator Sports

Fall sports are underway, bringing big games, great rivalries, momentous excitement and – unfortunately – the possibility of substantial cold temperatures cutting into the enjoyment of cheering on a favorite team.

Few things can dampen team spirits more than sitting on cold bleachers, no matter how hot the action gets on the field. A blanket or a towel just won’t cut the chill when the temperatures drop, and after jumping up a few times to cheer, any built-up heat gets lost. And there’s only so far that hot thermos of coffee or cocoa can go. The bottom line is, when it’s cold outside, everyone wants a warm seat to stay toasty and comfortable in the stands while cheering for the home team.

THAW has just the answer with their Heated Stadium Seat. Perfect for any season, the rechargeable THAW Heated Stadium Seat features multiple heating modes, ranging from a high setting lasting seven hours to a low setting that lasts 16 hours. It’s USB rechargeable, is made from tough nylon that can withstand wear and tear, and it has heat-retaining insulation, so the warmth doesn’t fade away.

The THAW Heated Stadium Seat comes with a storage compartment for a drink or other accessories, and a shoulder strap and padded handle to make it easy to carry. It folds down to a manageable size, so it can be taken almost anywhere it’s needed. It also has a 10,000mAh Power Bank and a USB-A to USB-C charging cable. Read more

EGLE Extension Granted to DNR to Develop Safe Drinking Water Source in Ontonagon County’s Greenland Township

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has granted a 1-year extension to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to comply with terms of a violation notice issued late last year.

“This will allow the Department of Natural Resources to work with the availability of the well driller and to account for the upcoming snow and frost seasons that will soon set in,” said Eric J. Oswald, director of EGLE’s Drinking Water and Environmental Health Division in a Sept. 25 letter to the DNR. “…EGLE will continue to work with the DNR and Greenland Township to ensure this process moves forward and residents of the area are provided with a safe new water source.”

At issue is an informal drinking spigot located along the Bill Nichols Rail-Trail that has been used for decades for drinking water and other uses by locals and passersby.

Last year, EGLE said the water could not be considered safe unless the source of the water could be located and inspected. There is a sign posted at the spigot warning the public not to drink the water. Read more
