Recreation areas in U.P. may get $3 million from state for development

Natural resources are the U.P.'s lifeblood, so the news that a whole slate of development projects from parks to trails are in the running for $3 million in funding in the U.P. is good to hear.
 
Excerpt: The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Board of Trustees recommended to the legislature that $27,677,800 in funds be awarded to 76 recreational development projects in 2014.
 
According to the announcement, there were 142 applications received for the money, and that number was whittled down to 76 recipients. If approved, this could bring nearly $3.1 million to Upper Michigan projects on the list.
