The city of Flat Rock, Michigan will soon post a road sign designating it as a Preserve America city. City officials in conjunction with members of the Flat Rock Historical Society are seeking $150,000 in grant funds to preserve historic and commercial buildings and promote local tourism (heritage tourism) through a federal program called "Preserve America."
The historical society already has begun restoring the Smith Hotel and Bar, Lang-Wagar Home and other buildings in an historic village behind Flat Rock Public Library.
The city is one of 13 communities in Michigan to be designated with that honor.
