COVID-19 Relief Bill Includes Funding for Great Lakes Restoration Initiative

COVID-19 Relief Bill Includes Funding for Great Lakes Restoration Initiative December 22, 2020 The massive COVID relief bill includes $330 million in funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Christine Crissman is the Executive Director of the Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay. She says it is great news for the Great Lakes State and its residents. “To be able to have something and have solid, sustainable funding for the next few years is a really, really big deal.” One might argue it’s not COVID-related, but funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative found its way in front of Congress – by way of COVID Relief. Crissman says, “We heard some rumblings that this was going to be part of the Covid package. But to find that they approved it and at the levels of funding, it really doesn’t matter how it happened. But we’re just really excited that it did.”
