FNU Morning notes
Here are some edited comments from the chat box this morning with links to various things that were talked about. They are in the order that they came into the chat box.
Below them you will find other links to the ARPA discussion including Attorney Pohly’s condensation of the overly legalistic document that is the original. She has made it somewhat clearer. You will also find links to examples of ARPA plans for Detroit and Wilmington, NC.
You will also find links to the I-475 project.
From Moses Timlin to Everyone:
I would love to see ARPA funds designated for creating new housing and housing repair programs. The City of Detroit is setting aside a portion of their ARPA funds to replace 1,000 roofs for low-income seniors or people requiring physical accommodations. https://detroitmi.gov/government/mayors-office/american-rescue-plan-act/renew-detroit
