State records list $2.6 million for Westland police, development

Michigan legislative spending records dated April 3, 2026, list a combined $2.6 million for two Westland city functions: $1.6 million for the Westland Police Department and $1 million for the City of Westland Economic Development Department.

The records tie the police entry to 36701 Ford Road and the economic-development entry to 36300 Warren Road. The addresses identify the local facilities connected to the listed spending, but the available records do not say that the money has been received or spent.

Two Westland entries in the state database

The Michigan House of Representatives’ 2026 legislatively directed spending database lists the $1.6 million police item at the Ford Road address. It separately lists $1 million for the city’s Economic Development Department at City Hall’s address, 36300 Warren Road.

Together, the entries total $2.6 million in spending recorded for Westland. The database identifies both entries as Westland, Michigan, and gives April 3, 2026, as the item date.

That distinction matters because a listing in a legislative spending database is not, by itself, proof that a project is complete or that the full amount has been disbursed. The available spending page does not fully specify payment schedules or final project scopes.

Related law-enforcement facility record

A related Michigan Senate project record describes a safe, code-compliant regional law-enforcement training facility in Westland. The record says the facility would serve police, fire arson investigators and 18th District Court officers from multiple agencies, including Wayne, Canton and Garden City police departments.

The project information includes an October 31, 2027, date. The record provides a timeline marker for the related project, but it does not establish that the $1.6 million police entry and the regional training-facility description are definitively the same appropriation.

That connection still needs to be confirmed through the enacted appropriation or a grant agreement. Until then, the clearest verified point is that the state’s records list separate Westland police and economic-development spending entries, while a related state record describes a regional training use for a Westland facility.

What Westland residents should watch

For residents, the listed spending points to two areas of potential local activity: public-safety infrastructure connected to the Police Department and economic-development work connected to City Hall. The records do not yet provide enough detail to say what construction, equipment, programming or other work the allocations will cover.

The next useful documents will be the underlying appropriation and any grant agreement or project materials. Those records should clarify how the money is scheduled to move, what work is authorized, and whether the police allocation is tied to the regional training facility described by the Senate.

For now, the April 3 entries are a state-recorded listing of $2.6 million in directed spending associated with Westland—not a confirmation that all of the money has arrived or that either project has been completed.
