Hello FOLK members.
The article attached to the link below is about the recent state funding for Copperwood Mine located next to the Porcupine Mountain State Park. It was written by Brian Noell who is the Communications Director for The Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve (YDWP).
FOLK appreciates this article as one of the most comprehensive reporting of the Strategic Fund Hearings in Lansing that took place in late March 2024. The Strategic Fund board is part of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
The YDWP is working with https://protecttheporkies.com/
