It was a year of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, great 2020 turmoil, and divisiveness, and a year that ripped at our souls over the civil unrest that erupted on multiple occasions. The pain of our nation’s failures to come to grips with social justice was felt throughout our communities and within all of our organizations.

On March 16, 2020, I issued an emergency order closing all City buildings to the public and sending a large portion of our workforce to work from home due to the COIVD-19 pandemic. We were faced with the same questions as the rest of the country: how to run a city while protecting our employees and our residents? City of Lansing employees showed up and continue to serve residents with integrity and professionalism. Our essential workers, the backbone of our City, washed their hands, masked up and went to work. Our police officers, firefighters, paramedics and EMT’s responded to tens of thousands of calls for service to aid our residents and keep them safe. Our Public Service staff completed more than 14 miles of road improvements, more than 1,200 tree trimming/removals and cleaned more than 66 miles of storm and sanitary sewer pipes.

  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.

  • 2014 April River Ride Publisher Version
    Friends of the Flint River Trail 5LYHU5LGH “Riding together in Flint and Genesee County” 2014 Who are The Friends of the Flint River Trail? For 16 years, the Friends of the Flint River Trail have led regular Sunday bicycle rides on the trail, have advocated for trail expansion, have volunteered hours of service on the trail, and have promoted safe and active bicycling. We are an active chapter of the Flint River Watershed Coalition (FRWC). Our Sunday rides are family friendly, leisurely rides of about 10-12 miles in length. Our favorite destinations along the trail are Stepping Stones Falls and Blue Bell Beach – both in the Genesee County Parks system. Our rides are scheduled every week from the first Sunday in May through the last Sunday in October. The rides start at 2:00 from the old Flint Farmers’ Market at the intersection of Boulevard Drive and Robert T. Longway Boulevard. In recent years, we have averaged 35-40 riders every Sunday, each coming from about 30 different zip codes. We have introduced many riders to the trail, to the river, and to beautiful sites along the trail. The riders form a positive impression of the Flint River – thus promoting the mission of the FRWC. Last year volunteers from the FFRT donated over 300 volunteer hours cleaning, mowing, trimming branches and removing fallen trees from along the trail. We were instrumental in advocating for the Kearsley Park Trail, the paving of the trail between Dort Highway and Carpenter Road, and the west extension from downtown to Ballenger Highway at McLaren Hospital.
