St Louis County leaders took time during Tuesday's County Board meeting to celebrate the good work accomplished through the successful investment of the $54.5 million the county received in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. County Administrator Kevin Gray gave a presentation to the Board thanking them for their leadership in establishing a priority framework and for identifying needs in their districts that could be served with these funds.

The St. Louis County Board has given preliminary approval to distribute $709,992 of state funds for eight projects that focus on preventing the introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) or limiting their spread in lakes and rivers in St. Louis County.
