The city of St. Robert hosted the latest Pulaski County Growth Alliance meeting this week. Guest speaker Brandon Dungan of the Missouri Department of Economic Development discussed the $700 million in grant funding the state has received from the federal government. While unrelated to that recent surge of cash, St. Robert Mayor George Lauritson says the city itself has recently received funding for a long-awaited sidewalk project.

A list of ARPA grants will be available on the DED website as they are given out.
