Upper Peninsula receives more than $30M in ARPA dollars

The Michigan Department of Treasury distributed more than $319 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars to more than 1,650 Michigan communities. Every county in the Upper Peninsula was on the receiving end of the funding, with more than $30 million being distributed across the region. The money can be used to relieve the effects of the pandemic and improve economies and infrastructure.

Local governments are working to evaluate the best use for the funds. They have until 2024 to identify projects and obligate funds. Read more here.

As a part of our commitment to the Upper Peninsula, we collaborate with partners to share some of the most compelling stories about business and job growth across the region. Our goal through these stories is to get at the heart of what makes the U.P. unique — and to ensure these stories travel beyond our peninsula and broadly illustrate why the UP is the place to live and work.
