Kalamazoo secures a significant portion, nearly $38 million, to fortify its stormwater infrastructure along Arcadia Creek.

The multi-year project will progress in phases, potentially completing by 2028. Kalamazoo’s grant, the largest of 80 nationwide, receives additional funding from arena developers, signaling collaborative resilience efforts.
