Mayor: ARPA dollars, partners backed $3M Brother's Keeper project
Summary
Mayor Eddie Milton said the city used remaining American Rescue Plan funds and community support to develop a "brand new over 3,000,000 facility off of Broadway," framing the project as part of broader blight-elimination and development efforts.
Mayor Eddie Milton used his remarks at the ceremony to place the project within a broader recovery and redevelopment agenda, saying city leaders had "come together" to pool remaining American Rescue Plan dollars and secure private support to make the facility sustainable.
"We are setting the stage for new growth and development," Milton said, telling the crowd the project is the first new structure the city has been involved with recently. He thanked the Legacy Foundation and faith-based donors for helping purchase bedding and appliances, and he described the site as "a brand new over 3,000,000 facility off of Broadway." The mayor also referenced recent local demolition and blight-elimination efforts in framing the project as part of economic renewal.
