LANCASTER â The Coos County Delegation on Monday unanimously approved several funding requests under the American Rescue Plan Act for projects in the county.
The delegation was presented with a recommendation from the Coos County Commissioners to split the $3,065,371.50 in ARPA funds received by the county on June 16, with half the funds, or $1,532,685.75, saved for county use and the other half being split among the three county districts, with each receiving $510,895.25.
According to Coos County Commissioner Paul Grenier, the portion going to the districts would be targeted for specific uses under ARPA requirements.
As part of the county commissioners recommendations, the delegation was presented with three proposed projects for approval to use a portion of the ARPA funds.
DUMMER â While no final decision was reached last Wednesday, many Dummer town residents at a public meeting on all-terrain vehicles favored restricting or eliminating their use on town roads.
About 50 people, including residents of Dummer and other interested parties, came together at Dummer Town Hall to discuss the use of town roads by ATVs and whether the town should change its ATV ordinance.
Early in the meeting, several Dummer residents spoke about problems they have had with because of people riding ATVs on town roads.
Dummer resident Judy Marcou said she has had several issues with ATV riders since the roads have been opened to ATVs.
