DTE Energy Marks 10th Year of National Cherry Festival Support
DTE Energy celebrated its 10th year as a National Cherry Festival sponsor by announcing a $150,000 contribution to the Bayfront Development Project. The DTE Energy Foundation will provide a three-year grant to Traverse City in support of a project that highlights the community’s most valued resource and honors one of the city’s most respected native sons, former Gov. William G. Milliken.
The grant will underwrite the William G. Milliken Children’s Stream, a natural water feature that will incorporate the artesian well present along the bayfront.
The DTE Energy Foundation’s sponsorship of the stream culminates 10 years of partnering with the environmental community to make Traverse City a greener place for families to enjoy.
