LANSING, Mich. — State Sen. Michael Webber, R-Rochester Hills, welcomed Troy Mayor Ethan Baker and his wife Bethany to the Capitol as his guests for the governor’s 2024 State of the State address on Wednesday.
Webber was able to secure a $10 million appropriation in the state’s 2024 fiscal year budget for two sections of sound walls to be built along I-75 in Troy, working with Mayor Baker and residents who raised concerns about increased noise pollution following upgrades to the interstate that were completed in 2015. The senator also introduced Senate Bill 643 in 2023 to provide state residents with easier access to sound barrier funding through the Michigan Department of Transportation.
