New bridge to Canada gets presidential permit
LANSING -- The presidential permit for the New International Trade Crossing has been approved, and the announcement will be made today in Detroit by Gov. Rick Snyder, the Free Press has learned.

One source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the U.S. State Department signed off on the permit Thursday and notified ambassadors for both countries and Snyder.
