Soon to be located near the Hemlock Semiconductor facility on Geddes Road, the proposed Corning Inc. requires all-season roads for shipments in between facilities. The Michigan Department of Transportation is providing the funding to the road commission through the Transportation Economic Development Fund grant program. The roughly $2M will be used for resurfacing Orr Road between Geddes Road and Tittabawassee Road in Thomas and Richland Townships as well as resurfacing and and applying asphalt overlay to neighboring roads. Due to an expected increase in traffic to the Corning development, the MDOT is installing a traffic light at the Gratiot Road (M-46)/Orr intersection.
