Livonia poised to land $3 million in federal funding for senior center rebuild

Livonia wants to relocate and rebuild its senior center without going before voters with a tax request. It appears on track to do that.

Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI-11) appears to have secured $3 million in federal funding for the project. The U.S. Senate still needs to approve the funding, which is part of community funding each member of congress can lobby for. Stevens' office is optimistic the funding will be approved and get dispersed next year.

“My staff and I have been working for months with mayors, township supervisors, local and statewide elected officials from both parties to determine the greatest needs in our communities," Stevens said. "Every community project that was identified and submitted to the House Appropriations Committee was funded. When we invest in our communities, they thrive."
