Village weighs options for its rescue funds

The Village of Grafton is expected to receive $1.23 million through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which supports local governments affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

During Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, Director of Administrative Services Paul Styduhar said municipalities will be allocated funds based on population as part of the act, which was signed into law March 11.

Last month, the village was expecting to receive $1.2 million, but that total has been updated. The Town of Grafton is expected to get about $400,000.
