Our Activites & Programs: Ongoing Events: Wayside Exhibit Program

MotorCities is the recipient of a grant from the Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation through the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries. The grant is for the creation of a Wayside Exhibit program in the MotorCities region.

Over the course of three years (2008-2010), the Wayside Exhibit program will create a comprehensive system of approximately 300 outdoor signs in communities throughout central and southeastern Michigan. Each sign will commemorate Michigan's automotive heritage and will increase public awareness of this on a community and regional level.

Year One signs have been installed in Ypsilanti and Flint, with more coming in the next year for Lansing and Middle Rouge. Those applicants interested in the third cycle should contact Brian Yopp, byopp@motorcities.org
