Line-Item Appropriations
Department of Agriculture: The bill would appropriate $1,150,000 of ARRA funding to be used by local soil conservation districts to perform survey and remediation work regarding the control of the Emerald Ash Borer.
Department of Energy, Labor, and Economic Growth: The bill would appropriate $6.3 million of ARRA funding for two programs. The appropriation for Labor Market Information would provide $1.3 million for a tri-state study to determine how to serve displaced auto industry workers more effectively. The study will be conducted jointly by workforce development and labor market information staff from Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. The study will identify current and future labor force needs in the auto industry, including suppliers, and identify other careers for displaced workers, especially green job opportunities. The second program would receive $6.0 million in ARRA competitive grant funds from the State Energy Sector Partnership and Training Grant to provide training to individuals in "green" employment sectors. The Department of Energy, Labor, and Economic Growth staff have indicated that the grant will fund competitively selected projects in the areas of advanced energy storage, solar, and energy-efficient construction. The projects to be funded and the grant amount are as follows: Southeast Michigan Solar Project, $415,548; Southeast Michigan Advanced Energy Storage, $1,676,742; Great Lakes Bay Area Solar Project, $2,536,937; and Career Alliance Energy Efficiency, $1,190,772. In total, the grant is expected to provide training for approximately 1,100 participants, primarily in counties affected by auto-related restructuring.
Department of Military and Veterans Affairs: The bill would appropriate $625,300 of Gross funding for the Grand Rapids Veterans Home. The funding consists of $407,100 of ARRA funding along with $219,200 of State Restricted matching funds. The funding would pay for a new nurse call system in the home.
Department of Natural Resources and Environment: The bill would appropriate $295,000 of ARRA funding for the Department to develop management plans to slow the destruction of ash trees by the Emerald Ash Borer and to plant trees on public rights-of-ways. Of this amount, $95,000 would be used in Mackinac, Delta, Schoolcraft, and Houghton Counties to help evaluate and implement treatment strategies that will slow the expansion of the Emerald Ash Borer in these areas. The remaining $200,000 would be used in southeastern Michigan in Livingston, Washtenaw, Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Monroe Counties to remove dead and damaged ash trees and to plant new trees where the Emerald Ash Borer had done extensive damage already. This bill would supplement a Federal grant of $250,000 the Department has already received from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for this type of work.
