Dingell Secures Federal Grant for Ypsilanti-based Manufacturer following Administration’s Attempts to Revoke Critical Funding

U.S. Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI-06) released the following statement on her successful efforts securing $31.7 million in federal grant funding for the Ypsilanti-based manufacturer LuxWall after the Trump Administration sought to revoke the funding: 

“When I heard this administration was trying to revoke federal funding for Michigan manufacturing, I knew I had to act. Working with LuxWall, we were able to get their $31.7 million federal grant reinstated. This a big win for Michigan manufacturing and workers. Investments in our local economies are critical, and LuxWall would not have been able to expand their operations in Detroit and Ypsilanti without these federal dollars.  I will keep fighting for federal investments that support Michigan manufacturing,” said Congresswoman Dingell. 

LuxWall is a Michigan-based company that manufactures advanced Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) designed to turn windows into energy-efficient, high-performance insulation. The company was awarded a federal grant to expand a clean manufacturing facility producing high-performance glass that reduces energy consumption and lowers costs for consumers. The federal funding was made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, but after President Trump returned to office and initiated his “DOGE” efforts, this grant was revoked. LuxWall notified Congresswoman Dingell of their grant termination in October 2025 and appealed the decision with the Department of Energy (DOE). Congresswoman Dingell advocated for the appeal on behalf of LuxWall in an October letter to the DOE, which led to the DOE granting the appeal and reinstating the federal grant.
