Ten Sixteen Recovery Network Breaks Ground at Midland Residential Treatment Facility Thanks to USDA Rural Development Funding
EAST LANSING, May 6, 2011 – USDA Rural Development State Director for Michigan James J. Turner today joined local officials at a ceremonial ground breaking for the Ten Sixteen Recovery Network Residential Treatment Facility in Midland.
“USDA Rural Development’s mission is to improve the quality of life for rural Michigan residents,” Turner said. “This project will help provide a place of solace and healing, and enhance medical care for people in need.”
USDA Rural Development provided a $1,132,000 loan and $250,000 grant for the new 20-bed, 7,500 square-foot substance abuse treatment facility. The applicant is contributing $510,000 for a total project cost of $1,892,000. The grant funds were made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages more than 40 housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a network of 6,100 employees located in Washington, D.C, and 500 state and local offices. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of more than $134 billion in loans and loan guarantees.
