LANSING, Mich., March 21, 2025 — The Michigan House of Representatives passed a nine-bill package (House Bills 4180–87 and HB 4230) to provide $3.1 billion in road funding, ensuring critical investments in infrastructure across the state. After voting in favor of the bill package, state Rep. Joey Andrews (D-St. Joseph) issued the following statement:

“Investing in our roads isn’t just about smoother commutes — it’s about providing Michiganders and businesses with the dependable infrastructure they need for daily life and economic growth. This funding package delivers a lasting impact by allocating nearly $13 million to our community, equipping local governments with essential resources and making key investments in the roads that connect us all. With an additional $7 million over last year’s transportation budget, we can expect safer roads, improved travel conditions and job growth in construction and infrastructure. While this is a major step forward, I recognize the need for a long-term, comprehensive road funding solution. As the Senate considers these bills, I look forward to advancing a more robust and sustainable road funding plan.”

A key component of the package is an amendment to House Bill 4185, which protects $95.5 million in Constitutional Revenue Sharing from expected reductions in general sales tax revenue. This ensures local governments continue receiving necessary funds to maintain essential services without cutting resources from housing, schools or other priorities.

The funding package delivers substantial investments for local road improvements, with, Berrien County, Van Buren County and Allegan County each projected to receive $44.8 million, $25.4 million and $37.5 million, respectively. Individual communities are projected to receive the following estimated amounts:

  • Benton Harbor: $3,531,690
  • Bridgman: $875,295
  • Douglas: $800,204
  • Grand Beach: $390,108
  • Michiana: $279,587
  • New Buffalo: $1,048,681
  • Saugatuck: $540,085
  • Shoreham: $231,407
  • South Haven: $1,994,260
  • St. Joseph: $2,767,982
  • Stevensville: $540,569

The legislation passed with bipartisan support and now moves to the Senate.
