MI HCR0001

Expresses legislative support for the Marquette County Road Commission's appeal of the EPA's objection to constructing County Road 595 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan.

Affirms the road project has been planned since 2011 and would create an all-season primary route connecting northwest Marquette County to US 41 while reducing truck traffic through population centers.

States the project would improve public safety, environmental protection, economic development, and job creation in the natural resources and tourism industries.

Requires copies of the resolution be sent to the U.S. District Court, the EPA Administrator, the Michigan Governor, the state's congressional delegation, and Marquette County boards.

Notes the Road Commission committed to funding the appeal entirely with private funds, not public funds.
