Inparticular, it will support upgrading of the process at the Waste Water

Treatment Plant that works in cooperation with the CSO program. The loanwill be issued for the entire project with a 40% adjustment from Stimulusfunds. The project will be constructed by a Lansing company as the lowbidder, and they are looking at Lansing first for workers.

He reported the projects not being completed include the following:Washington Ave downtown, Ottawa Street between Capitol and Grand, 34C(Bradley, Mt. Hope, MLK, and Sparrow Ave.). These will be shelved for abouta year until there is funding. Projects still to be worked on include: 34-B,trunk sewer, corridor on Saginaw Street, Washington Ave. from Mt. Hope toHolmes. This will require deep ditches and the street will need to be cut off.

They will have way-finding signs pushing people in the appropriate directionfor the hospital.
