Economic Boost For St. Clair County As RAP 2.0 Grants Propel Key Development Projects

In a significant win for St. Clair County, the Economic Development Alliance (EDA) secures RAP 2.0 grants, marking a pivotal moment for local development. 

Along with the EDA, Governor Whitmer also revealed additional funding for St. Clair County, with $500,000 being allocated to the SONS Outreach project in Port Huron for transforming the former Harrison School into a community center and $400,000 for Algonac to renovate a community swimming pool. 

SONS Outreach was recently awarded $300,000 last year via federal funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to purchase the new home of the organization at the former Harrison School.

This initiative contributes to the broader RAP 2.0 program, awarding funds to 44 projects across Michigan, with three significant ventures enhancing growth in St. Clair County.
