The Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority along with Bridging North America, the State of Michigan and the Government of Canada have released details for the community plan for the Gordie Howe International Bridge project.
$20-million (CDN) has been set aside for the Community Benefits Plan.
The plan includes 29 initiatives on both sides of the border including Walpole Island First Nation.
$8.1-million will focus on landscaping and aesthetics while another $3.5-million is for community safety and connections.
$2.2-million will go towards community partnerships and $1.1-million will support economic benefits.
State of Michigan Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist says the plan will build both communities.
"We're excited to work with them to implement this community benefits package," says Gilchrist. "There's never been an agreement reached like this between entities like these so want to make sure that everyone is benefiting and reaping the benefits of the job creation, the training, the educational opportunities, the neighbourhood beautification."
