American Recovery Act Development Planning

The Hancock County Commission thanks you for using your voice to express your top priorities for the spending of American Rescue Plan Act funds.
We wanted to ensure that Hancock County’s citizens were given a chance to give their input on their priorities and concerns and are thankful for those who took advantage of the opportunity.
All responses were reviewed during a development meeting we had on April 20.
Thank you for the all the feedback concerning local roads. We hear you loud and clear! We completely understand the frustration, but the county has NO jurisdiction over roads. Our hope is
that there are funds in Congress’ Infrastructure Package that the state will allocate to repairing our local roads.
The commission has decided to invest in the following 3 projects for Hancock County:
• Broadband and Communications
• Water
• Sewer
Our goal is to serve all citizens equally by providing infrastructure that is considered necessary in today’s world. We hope this will allow for natural and healthy growth. As a result,
the county would be in a better position to receive other types of grant funding for further suggested projects.
We thank you again for your input and look forward to continuing to serve and grow our great county.
Sincerely,
Hancock County Commission
