CapCon 2022 Program FLIPPING BOOK

Federal Stimulus Impacts and Opportunities for Michigan —Meeting Rooms 103 & 104 In 2021, Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act and the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act. These two laws are sending billions of dollars to Michigan and our local governments over the next few years. What does this mean for your community? What do you need to know about the funds you are receiving? How can you access grants and programs that the federal and state governments are making available for investment in our state? Hear from the League’s ServeMICity program staff and experts from the newly formed Michigan Infrastructure Office and Michigan High-Speed Internet Office (MI-HI) about the opportunities these federal funds present for your community and how to leverage these dollars with the funds you have available.
