The Lima Township Board unanimously passed a motion to apply for $414,283 in funds through the American Rescue Plan at the board’s July 12 meeting. The application deadline is July 27 for the emergency funds.
In other action, the board unanimously passed a request to have Hoppe Design do a master plan proposal for the N. Lima Center site behind the fire station. Board member Greg McKenzie suggested the proposal be done so that the board can make an informed decision about the site.
Also adopted was Resolution 2021-11 to support affordable countywide broadband access. The funding would come from President Biden’s stimulus funding for high speed internet. Washtenaw County is asking every township to support the resolution with the goal to be the first county in the state to approve the resolution.
Also adopted was Resolution 2021-10 poverty guidelines for Lima Township, which are the newest guidelines to help residents with property taxes.
