The City of Jackson will invest $250,000 in marijuana tax revenue to repair potholes and improve road conditions without raising taxes on residents.
The initiative, called “Pot for Potholes,” directs state-distributed funds from the Michigan Transportation Fund toward local infrastructure repairs, the city announced Friday, April 17.
The allocation comes from fiscal year 2025 adult-use marijuana tax revenue designated for road and bridge improvements in local communities.
“We’re not waiting 150 years to fix our roads,” said Mayor Daniel Mahoney. “We’re finding smarter ways to get it done now using new revenue sources to deliver real results for the people of Jackson.”
