Spread the word! Our #ARP Investment Tracker is now live on the website.
We break down how much Michigan has been allocated, what investments our coalition has proposed and where the legislature stands in putting our resources to good use. #mileg

State revenues are projected to increase by $1.73B for the 202122 FY. We urge the #mileg and @GovWhitmer to use the Michigan Prosperity Roadmap to guide budget and ARP spending discussions in the weeks and months ahead.
ICYMI: Over the holidays, there was a great column in the @RecordEagle about the importance of using #ARP resources to improve Michigan's #waterinfrastructure.

Thanks to @OakGov Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash and @thinkMITA VP Rob Coppersmith for this column urging the #mileg to move forward with investing the state's #ARP funds on fixing Michigan's outdated infrastructure.

Today the Michigan Senate took action on the water infrastructure ARP supplemental budget. We are excited to see the sense of urgency we have been asking for! (https://t.co/kKrYdkE45e)
Let’s continue to build on this momentum and move forward to equitably invest across MI.
This week CSPM coalition members teamed up in Lansing to meet with legislators to share our proposal and share excitement on what’s possible if we invest boldly!
We rolled out a comprehensive plan in October backed by nearly 60 organizations to invest MI’s $6B ARP allocation that includes:
✅ Housing
✅ Water Infrastructure
✅ Broadband expansion
✅ Economic Development
We’ve done the hard work so MI can act!
Story: Michigan has billions in federal COVID-19 relief and infrastructure funding. Now, Gov. Whitmer and state lawmakers must agree on how to spend it https://t.co/0jM3ApilWz
We appreciate Rep @juliebrixie acknowledging this prime moment to bring transformational investment across the state.
We need all hands on to build a more prosperous Michigan, and we also have the Roadmap to do it! Let’s all work together, the moment is now!
House Republicans have been sitting on BILLIONS in American Rescue Plan #ARP funding for more than 250 days. State Rep. @juliebrixie and @MIHouseDems say it's time to get Michigan's money to work rebuilding our communities!
ICYMI: Our coalition leaders are urging state lawmakers to work quickly to create a plan for investing Michigan's ARP dollars. Failure to act this winter could result in missing an entire construction season. #arp#mileg

Thank you Congresswoman @ElissaSlotkin for your efforts. We look forward to working with Michigan's legislature to strategically invest our state's #APR dollars. #mileg
Glad to be chatting with @ElissaSlotkin this morning and fellow @LansingChamber members about how Michigan will benefit from the recent bipartisan #infrastructure plan.
Lots of connection to the @MiRoadmap
plan for folks who have not checked that out yet.
The @MiRoadmap is a bold and detailed path forward for our state. It's time to invest in clean water infrastructure and build healthier communities.

From leaders of @DTE_Energy, @Mihomebuilders and @MiLaborers: American Rescue Plan investment strategy is Michigan’s space race
"Every day we fail to act we allow Ohio, Indiana, Florida and 46 other states to get ahead of us."

Because transparency and the public release of information should be key values of our government.
And 4 parking spaces are a small recognition of that fact.
