Demorest’s $441,071 ARPA Plan for Water and Public Safety Still Lacks a Recorded Final Vote

Demorest City Council considered a recommended $441,071 spending plan for federal American Rescue Plan Act money on Dec. 3, 2024, with the largest proposed share—$148,945—earmarked for water-system SCADA work. The package also included water projects, police radios, fire hydrants and repairs, turnout gear, storage and other public-safety needs. But the cited council-minutes excerpt does not clearly show that the council took a final vote to adopt the allocations.
