The Dalles City Council has approved a list of projects to use just short of $1.7 million of American Recovery Plan funds the City will receive, but also asked for more details on the two biggest recipients before the money is actually disbursed.  Those include a $650,000 property acquisition fund for which a large part would go toward Mid-Columbia Community Action’s proposed Navigation Center for low-income community members and those experiencing homelessness, and $400,000 to Northern Wasco Parks and Recreation District for rehabilitation of Sorosis Park.  Other areas of funding in the plan include replacing transient room and fuel tax revenue lost in the pandemic, police department security and safety, and downtown economic development.
