Community Service Infrastructure Fund

The Community Service Infrastructure Fund (CSIF), also known as TEDF Category B, is designed to provide additional road funding to the smallest communities in Michigan. This initiative is particularly focused on assisting communities with limited financial capacity to undertake road projects. The 2023 supplemental appropriation has enabled the continuation of this annual program for several grant cycles, ensuring ongoing support for eligible communities. Eligible applicants for this funding opportunity include city, village, or township governments within the state of Michigan. The program aims to enhance infrastructure development by providing financial assistance to these local governments, thereby improving road conditions and accessibility. The funding amount available through this program is $250,000. This grant requires a matching contribution from the applicants, emphasizing the collaborative effort between the state and local governments to improve infrastructure. The CSIF is an important resource for Michigan's smallest communities, offering them the financial means to address critical infrastructure needs. By focusing on road projects, the fund supports the enhancement of transportation networks, which is vital for economic development and community well-being.
