House Representative Susie Lee (Nevada District 3) met with city officials and others at the Boulder City Senior Center to discuss ways the American Rescue Plan would benefit residents of our community. She was greeted by Mayor Kiernan McManus, Fire Chief Will Gray and Police Chief Tim Shea and several residents who were also present. The American Rescue Plan funding will be used to support various community support programs including child care for working parents, utility assistance, food, rental assistance, and support for local businesses and non-profit organizations. The money will also be used for infrastructure and other projects that benefit the community.
