Northville’s Mill Race Village to be upgraded thanks to grant

Northville Mayor Brian Turnbull presented Mill Race Village Executive Director Traci Sincock and Historical Society Board President Bill Stockhausen with a SEMCOG Grant Award of $115,000 for the “Greening of the Lane” Mill Race Project.
The funds were awarded as part of the USEPA Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Program.
The project included replacing the gravel access drive, installing permeable pavers and subsurface drain tiles, and the creation of two rain gardens.
The improvements made to Mill Race will reduce the amount of sediment entering the Rouge River from the Historic Village.
