Michigan Department of Transportation Office of Economic Development is now accepting applications for the FY 2023 Community Service Infrastructure Fund (CSIF), commonly referred to as TEDF Category B.
Donor Name: Michigan Department of Transportation
State: Michigan
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 06/15/2022
Size of the Grant: $250,000
Details:
As background, the Category B program was created and designed as a stop gap measure to provide additional road funding to the smallest communities in Michigan, particularly those with limited ability to fund road projects.
Program Priorities
Each application is reviewed and independently scored based upon a consistent set of criteria:
- The extent to which an agency has the ability to fund road projects, based on 2021 real/personal property value proportional to population.
- Projects on local roads – as they have fewer eligible funding sources.
- Projects paired with other infrastructure projects – to encourage efficiencies and coordination.
- Projects done together with another agency’s project – to encourage lower prices and other efficiencies.
- Preventive maintenance projects – to encourage better asset management practices.
- Points are reduced for agencies that received a grant from the program in the past.
- Adjustments to ensure geographic balance to the announcement.
Funding Information
- 50% of eligible costs, up to $250,000.
Eligible Applicant
- Villages and small cities with a population of 10,000 or less per the 2020 Census.
Eligible Project Type

Only costs directly associated with the roadway construction are eligible for funding or match credit. Preliminary engineering (design), right-of-way acquisition, and construction engineering (project oversight), are not eligible costs.
