Washtenaw County Rescue Plan town hall this Thursday in Freedom Township

Last week Washtenaw County announced that they are gathering resident input on how to use the $71 million the county will receive through the American Rescue Plan’s Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery program.

The Board of Commissioners has released a list of potential projects as part of the upcoming Washtenaw County Rescue Plan. They now want your feedback to ensure the Rescue Plan will help residents and local businesses recover from the pandemic and build a more equitable community moving forward.

One of the methods of gathering resident input is through town halls. Shannon Beeman, Commissioner for District 3 which includes Manchester, will be holding an in-person town hall for this purpose on Thursday, July 22 6 to 8 pm Freedom Township Hall.

Join Commissioner Beeman as she talks about potential investments related to infrastructure, county services, good government, and more.
