  1. Vance Edwards says:

    The Cadillac/Wexford Transit Authority (CWTA) did
    partially fund the Wexford County study ($2,000) and put in considereable time and efforts to the Grand Vision Mission. When I searched for those organizations that contributed to this program I did not locate ours. I am hoping that the organization "Wexford County MTA" is not what someone considered our agency to be. If so, no one would link this with name nor took the time to identify our governmental title.

    Thank you,

    Vance Edwards
    Director/CWTA

  2. Sorry for the error, Vance. It has been fixed!
