KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The COVID-19 pandemic is now a memory, but local governments are still figuring out ways to spend some of the federal dollars granted locally for recovery.
Kalamazoo County commissioners will take action tonight to reclaim $400,000 in ARPA funding from Young Kings and Queens, which had planned to use it for a financial literacy program to help community members prepare to purchase housing. They were never able to put the program together.
Administrator Kevin Catlin is proposing that the money be spent instead to replace the aging plumbing at the county’s Health and Human Services building on Alcott, which he says has become “a significant infrastructure issue.”
