It's not often $40 million dollars becomes available for upgrades at Flint and Genesee County, MI community schools.

So, when it does, the community takes notice.

Flint Community Schools receives grant money for improvements.

Thanks to a $14M grant from the Mott Foundation and $26M from the federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Program, Flint Schools will see improvements by 2025, according to ABC12.

This type of investment hasn't happened in years.

How will Flint Schools spend the money?

Holmes and Brownell STEM Academies will each see renovations inside and out.

On the district's Facebook page, the announcement notes:

This incredible opportunity means state-of-the-art renovations for our campus, enhancing the learning experience for over 600 pre-K through 8th-grade students. It's not just a facelift; it's about creating a future-ready, innovative learning environment for our young scholars.

One new building will be constructed, the first in many years for the district.

ABC12 reports it will be called The Cube -- a 5,000 square foot space for adult education learning, community use, recreation and more.

What will the renovations and new construction look like?

Artist renderings shared during the announcement look impressive.

The Cube will sit between the two buildings near the early childhood building at Brownell.

It's sure to see a lot of use.

It's always good to see reinvestment in our schools -- this will make a big difference in the learning environment for staff, students and the entire community.

LOOK: Abandoned Flint High School With Amazing Wall Art

I was kind of astounded at the stained glass here. It was in amazing shape considering the rest of the building.

Remembering the Grand Opening of AutoWorld in Flint, Michigan

A short-lived Six Flags theme park, AutoWorld was supposed to be a tourist destination in Flint. Sadly, after several starts and stops, AutoWorld was imploded in early 1997. The land is now owned by University of Michigan-Flint and is home to the William S White Building.
