Several years ago Oakland County agreed to make a grant of
$30,000 per year for five years to aid in the development
of Michigan State University-Oakland. To date three installments
have been received, and two of the installments have been
used to pay interest on the Student Services Center loan.
Therefore, we have on hand $30,000 representing the third
installment, plus two installments amounting to $60,000 yet
to be received. It is proposed that the last three installments
totaling $90,000 be committed for the site work at the Intramural
