The City of Grand Ledge has joined with the The Greater Lansing Regional Committee for Stormwater Management. The GLRC is “dedicated to preserving, maintaining, and enhancing the Lansing region’s watersheds.” (A watershed, in simple terms is any area of land that drains to a common point. For Grand Ledge, the point is Grand River.)
“Historically, we local government/business, etc., did not protect our rivers and streams nearly as well as we do today. With development comes changes in land use which directly effects our water,” said Erin Campbell, Assistant Environmental Planner of the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission.
