U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, announced today the state of Michigan will receive $150 million to develop a high-speed rail corridor between Kalamazoo and Dearborn, passing through Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Jackson, Albion and Battle Creek.
The funding was awarded through the fiscal year 2010 High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Grant Program, Dingell’s office said. The U.S. Department of Transportation also announced a second grant for $3.2 million that will pay for planning involved in the project.
