Wayne County is kicking in $3 million of the $3.7 million project to repair crumbling streets in nearly two dozen Canton subdivisions.

Canton Municipal Services Director Tim Faas told The Canton Observer the goal is to get the work done as quickly as possible.

Homeowner associations are contributing the required $700,000 to qualify for the county money.

Design work is already under way for the paving work, which is expected to occur next year. Township officials estimate that the larger scope of the project — 20 streets, as opposed to the 13 originally considered — should result in better bid prices.

Slated for repairs are streets in the Windsor Park, Glengarry, Brookside, Meadow Villages, Forest Brook, Meadowbrook, Century Farms, Oakvale/Stonegate, Fairways West, Willow Homes, Nowland Estates, Canton Country Acres, Huntington Place No. 1, River Woods, Salem Manor, Royal Pointe and Glengarry subdivisions.
