RE: ARPA Funding Allocation Approval - Genesee County Senior Center Capital Improvements projects
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Recommending approval for the allocation of $1,600,000 of Genesee County American Rescue Plan Act funding for Genesee County Senior Center Capital Improvement projects. Funds will be allocated to accounts 1010-640.02-899.041 through 1010-640.02-899.056.
BACKGROUND:
In response to the growing need for Senior Center improvements, the Genesee County Board of Commissioners is allocating $100,000 to each of the 16 Senior Centers in Genesee County.

Examples of eligible projects include capital needs and improvements, such as plumbing, lighting, HVAC, and other facility improvements. Centers could also use their funding on vehicles, new flooring, and restroom upgrades.
DISCUSSION:
GCMPC staff will meet with centers to assist in project selection and provide guidance throughout the process.
