With population and business traffic increases expected in the area around Marshall, Michigan and its Marshall Area Jobs Opportunities and Recreation (MAJOR) campus, one can expect roadways will need to be upgraded.
In June 2024, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) presented some potential ideas for areas near the campus where Ford’s Blue Oval Battery Park Michigan is expected to be completed.
MDOT’s Nick Schirripa talks about the information presented, input they need from the public and the timeline for expected construction.
