Jackson is expected to get $1.8 million in funding for community development and aid to the poor through the recently passed economic recovery package, U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer said Thursday.
It is the first wave of stimulus funding to be announced for local efforts.
"This funding is just the first step in putting recovery dollars to work quickly, and it will offer a much-needed boost to communities across our area," Schauer, D-Battle Creek, said in a written statement.
The city of Jackson will get $371,955 in Community Development Block Grant funds, $889,894 will go to the Jackson Housing Commission and $568,942 will go toward homelessness prevention.
