PONTIAC, Mich. – The Oakland County Board of Commissioners has authorized $1.5 million in funding to the Local Road Improvement Program, providing a $3 million investment in road maintenance.
"The ongoing, long-term lack of investment in road infrastructure by the state and federal government continues to take a heavy toll on our roads," board chairman Michael J. Gingell said. "Potholes have been particularly bad this year, contributing to poor road conditions that have a negative impact on regional economic development, driver safety and quality of life for residents. As a result, Oakland County is stepping up in a bipartisan manner to lead the effort to address this serious problem by partnering with local municipalities to invest in urgent road repairs."
