Despite some delays due to the pandemic, a grant-funded project for a new Recycle Livingston facility is back on track.
At a recent virtual meeting, the Howell City Council voted to authorize the mayor to sign the 2020 Recycling and Organics Infrastructure Grant agreement between the City and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy for the Recycle Livingston facility at 170 Catrell Street.
Toward the beginning of the pandemic last April, Council voted to partner with Recycle Livingston on the grant. The review process was said to be slowed by the pandemic but the State has since officially notified Recycle Livingston and the City that they have been awarded $282,504 for a new facility at the current location.
