Buffalo County awards ARPA grant to county Agricultural Society for fairgrounds HVAC and electrical upgrades
Summary
The Board approved an additional American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant contract with the Buffalo County Agricultural Society to help pay for repair and upgrades to HVAC systems and electrical wiring at the county fairgrounds; one commissioner abstained from the vote. No grant amount was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The Buffalo County Board of Commissioners authorized an additional American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant contract with the Buffalo County Agricultural Society to help pay for repair and upgrades to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and electrical wiring at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds.
The resolution (2023-05) notes Buffalo County received ARPA funds, the Budget Committee recommended allocations to local political subdivisions, and the Board determined an ARPA-funded grant to the Agricultural Society would assist that governmental organization with pandemic-related negative economic impacts. The resolution authorizes the Chairperson to execute the agreement and take necessary steps to implement the project. The motion carried with Commissioners Timothy Higgins, Myron Kouba, Daniel Lynch, Bill Maendele and Ivan Klein voting "Aye" and Commissioner Ronald Loeffelholz recording an abstention.
The meeting record does not specify the grant dollar amount or detailed project budget; the resolution states this grant is in addition to a prior ARPA contract with the Agricultural Society.
