WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â Marathon County residents are encouraged to provide input on what the countyâs share of the American Rescue Plan funding should be used for over the next three years.
County leaders will hold three listening sessions in early August while also taking online comments on what the money could be used for, as long as the project ideas fit into the allowable criteria.
According to the American Rescue Plan guidelines, which were passed last spring, the $26.3 million that Marathon County has received can be used for certain water, sewer, or broadband internet infrastructure projects. It could also be used to replace certain revenues lost due to public health emergencies that stemmed from the pandemic or to cover other expenses brought on by the pandemic.

Hunter Wohler accepted the challenge of leadership this season.
“I’m not a super-outspoken guy so for me it was stepping into that leader role being a senior this year,” he said. “I feel like I had to grow into a new part of me.”
The senior safety from Muskego continued to lead by example but made a point of becoming more vocal and providing positive energy during a high school football season played under the cloud of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those intangibles helped produce another banner season for Warriors football team.
Muskego finished 9-0 for its third straight undefeated season. Wohler earned first-team all-state distinction from the Associated Press for the third straight year and for the second season in a row was the unanimous pick as the state player of the year by a vote of statewide media.
