This past Wednesday, the Gogebic County Board of Commissioners were given a presentation on how to spend American Rescue Plan Act funds coming to the area. Tim Dempsey, vice president of Public Sector Consultants answered board members questions about the federal stimulus money virtually. Dempsey said there is money going to every single jurisdiction in Michigan and the program allows them to distribute money to other entities and not just spend it on their own needs. Board Chair James Lorenson requested that Dempsey work together with the County Administrator to prepare a proposal on spending ARPA funds for the board of commissioners to consider.
