MIDLAND, MI – Northwood University will receive a $3.4 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help rebuild six buildings damaged in the Edenville Dam collapse flooding from May 2020, according to a news release from U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Midland).
The collapse of the Edenville Dam after heavy rainfall led to the failure of the nearby Sanford Dam and temporarily displaced roughly 10,000 residents. The flooding was declared a state and federal disaster, causing more than $209 million in damages, including ruining Northwood’s basketball court and causing its football turf to float atop the water.
