Westland residents who experienced flooding after last week s heavy rainfall can expect a well-funded cleanup effort.
Westland City Council met Friday to discuss relief for residents following recent in-home flooding for many residents. Members voted 5-2 to allocate up to $1 million toward cleanup efforts. Members Tasha Green and Peter Herzberg voted in dissent.
Herzberg said he wished the administration had updated council more during initial cleanup efforts. The councilman originally called for the meeting four days earlier, Monday, June 28. Members Green and Mike McDermott joined him in that request. If an update had gone to the whole council, we might not have to have this meeting today, Herzberg said.
