Senator Carl Levin paid a visit to City Hall today. Mayor Beach Hall and Council Member Gary Nowak toured Rogers City with the Senator, showing his some of the USDA-RD construction projects funded in part with federal dollars. Mayor Hall thanked the Senator for helping Rogers City obtain Federal grants and loans, such the "Build America Bonds," United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA-RD) loans, and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) used for various improvement projects in Rogers City.
They also shared with the Senator their concerns about the economy, needs of the City, and legislation pending to expand the Marine Sanctuary--which Rogers City strongly supports.
Other opportunities and concerns were also presented or discussed, including regional cooperation, energy, and taxes.
This visit was a non-partisan event to keep communications open between Rogers City and a key elected official in Washington D.C.. On behalf of the entire City of Rogers City, thank you Senator Levin for helping this community.
