Council backs ARPA interest funds to keep Green Bay Conservation Corps working through August
Summary
Facing an abrupt federal cut to AmeriCorps funding, the council approved a $115,000 allocation from ARPA interest to maintain Green Bay Conservation Corps operations through August, with a condition to return the funds if federal support is restored.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Common Council voted May 6 to allocate $115,000 in ARPA interest funds to keep the Green Bay Conservation Corps operating through August after the program’s federal AmeriCorps support was cut.
Alder Presley offered the allocation and described it as a bridge to preserve ongoing restoration and education work while the city and program seek longer‑term funding. Director Ditscheit told the council the allocation would support three full‑time city staff positions and up to 13 AmeriCorps members through August if approved.
