Leelanau Township Community Foundation Awards $103K

The Leelanau Township Community Foundation has awarded $103,674 in grants for community projects. General Endowment Fund grants include three to the Village of Northport: $32,770 to assist with expanding the Nagonaba Trail, $3,500 for maintenance of the Nagonaba Trail and $1,000 to support another season of Cars in the Park.

"Without the foundation's grant, the village trail project could not go forward," says Village of Northport Trustee Phil Mikesell. "Foundation support for the trail project is a great example of private-public cooperation to improve the community."

Grants were also awarded to the Northport Promise, Northport Public School, Leelanau Christian Neighbors, Northport Food Pantry, the Northport Youth Sailing School and Saving Birds Thru Habitat.
