Enough money has been raised for murals to be painted on two railroad overpasses in Muskegon, Mich.
Sometimes railroad bridges just need a little paint.
However, what is going on in Muskegon, Mich., is more than your standard paint job. Back in December, the Muskegon City Public Art Initiative (MCPAI) started a fundraiser for murals to be painted on both sides over railroad overpasses on Seaway Drive between Laketon and Hackley avenues. The overpasses are owned by CSX.
The fundraiser has successfully met a $50,000 goal, which will be matched by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Public Spaces, Community Places. The total cost of the project is $212,000. A grant from the Howmet Aerospace Foundation, $68,000 from the city of Muskegon and money from the MCPAI will cover the rest of the cost.
