A ski resort in Michigan was recently given a grant for $463,370 in Community Development Block Grant funds to expand and update the current facilities.  Crystal Mountain near Thompsonville in Weldon Township is planning to use the grant for two new projects that will help make the resort more appealing. The first project will be to build an Inn where skiers can stay. The second project will be to add new trails and a triple chairlift.
