Most of the Village of Lake Orion’s Community Development Block Grant funds for the past few years will be used for storm drain work.
According to LO Village Manager JoAnn Van Tassel, the monies can only be used in an area which is east of M-24 and generally north of Flint Street.
Village council members on Nov. 22 reprogrammed $15,752 worth of unused CDBG funds from 2002, 2003 and 2004. Those funds will now be used on upgrading storm drains.
The council also allocated $7,319 from 2005 CDBG funds for drain work. Another $2,200 will be given to Haven for services it provides to village residents to help them recover and deal with incidents of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.
