County releases $100,000 in ARPA interest to United Way for property purchase; closing set for June
Summary
Penobscot County approved releasing $100,000 in ARPA interest to the United Way for an acquisition; the United Way representative said the group is under contract on a property with a June closing and will report progress to county grant staff.
Penobscot County commissioners voted May 6 to release $100,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) interest funds to the United Way to support a multi-year community project.
Matt, a United Way representative, told commissioners the organization has an accepted purchase contract on a property that fits most of the project—s needs and that a closing is scheduled for June. County grant staff said a final grant paperwork package remains to be completed; release of funds is contingent on that documentation.
Why it matters: The dollars were drawn from ARPA interest earnings set aside for community projects. County staff will process the release once the grantee provides required documentation and grant-manager sign-off.
Details: - Approved amount: $100,000 (ARPA interest funds). - Next steps: United Way to finalize required paperwork with the county—s grant manager; finance will facilitate the transfer after grant manager approval.
Ending: Commissioners approved the release by motion and asked staff to complete the administrative steps needed to transfer funds once documentation is received.
