“To call the bridge a ticking time bomb would be an understatement,” said Cavitt, R-Cheboygan. “The bridge is so crucial to the roadway system for local communities that it must remain open. But when you have a structure in such poor condition, fears start to arise about potential injuries if someone is driving over the bridge and it finally buckles.”

“Cheboygan’s downtown has always been the heartbeat of our community, and this RAP grant is an exciting opportunity to breathe new life into it,” said Cavitt, R-Cheboygan. “The revitalization of the building will not only enhance our local business scene but also create new housing, making our city more vibrant and welcoming. Projects like this are a testament to the strength and potential of Cheboygan, and I’m thrilled to see this investment in our community.”
