Michigan Business Network

Chris Holman welcomes back Director Phil Roos at EGLE (Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy - State of Michigan, Lansing, MI. Can you explain the primary purpose of the EPA's Get the Lead Out initiative and how it aims to protect public health in Michigan and beyond? Earlier this year, Governor Whitmer and EGLE announced a $290 million expansion of the MI Clean Water Plan. How will this expansion ensure more access to safe drinking water across the state? The expansion of this initiative has created more than 4,000 local jobs. What specific jobs were created and how will this further EGLE’s priority of removing lead service lines and ensuring access to safe water for Michigan residents? What other significant investments has EGLE made to ensure the protection and preservation of Michigan’s water resources? In your view, how do these initiatives and investments collectively contribute to the long-term sustainability of Michigan’s water resources? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Watch MBN’s YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/
