ARPA - Inwood Township to elect under the Final Rule, which will take effect April 1, 2022 the "Standard Allowance" for revenue loss of $10 million. Recipients that select the standard allowance may use that amount for government services, not to exceed the award allocation. Most townships really only want to use their ARPA funds for "normal" Michigan township needs, such as facility improvements, road projects, improving or adding township programs or services that may or may not have any connection with the COVID pandemic. The new $10 million "standard allowance" gives much more flexibility. Recipients must make this one-time decision during the April 2022 reporting deadline. Motion B. Elliott, Support B. Landis AIF M/C
