Marcellus makes flooding issue improvements

Marcellus Village President Dennis Irwin recently shared details related to improvements made to help correct perpetual flooding issues.

Irwin said the work was completed thanks to a state grant in excess of $400,000.

As a result, stormwater management was improved in areas throughout the village, including an area in front of the township’s library and an adjacent business.

The work centered on storm-sewer replacement and narrowing roadways. In addition, East Read Street was repaved and new sidewalks have been added.

The Michigan High Water Infrastructure grant program provided $428,000 toward the project’s cost.
