Lathrup Village Awarded $21,678 Cybersecurity Grant
Lathrup Village, MI – The City of Lathrup Village has been awarded $21,678 through the Fiscal Year 2024 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP), administered by the Michigan State Police, Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division, and funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The grant, authorized under Assistance Listing 97.137, supports the City’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its cybersecurity posture and protect critical municipal systems from emerging cyber threats. The performance period for the grant runs from January 22, 2026, through September 30, 2028.
Funding will support two key initiatives:
These projects directly align with federal objectives to enhance governance structures, improve cybersecurity assessments, implement risk-based security protections, and ensure personnel are appropriately trained to respond to cyber incidents.

The SLCGP is designed to help state and local governments reduce systemic cyber risk and improve resilience against cyber threats. Through this award, Lathrup Village will strengthen account security protections and enhance public trust by transitioning to a secure, verified .gov domain, ensuring residents can confidently access official City communications and services.
“This investment reinforces our commitment to protecting the City’s digital infrastructure and the sensitive information entrusted to us by our residents,” said City Administrator Mike Greene. “Cybersecurity is not optional. It is essential for maintaining continuity of operations and public confidence.”
As part of the grant requirements, the City will also participate in cybersecurity services offered by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), including vulnerability scanning and cyber hygiene services, further enhancing proactive threat detection and response capabilities.
Lathrup Village remains committed to leveraging state and federal partnerships to modernize infrastructure, safeguard public assets, and deliver secure, reliable services to the community.
