Just a quick look back as we kickoff 2022. Of course, the three
major events of 2021 were the completion of the Old Courthouse
renovation, the continued COVID 19 impact on our community, and
the purchase of the old Tecumseh Products site for a regional
recreational facility.
Lenawee County began the year in sound financial shape, adding
nearly 1.5 million to general fund balance as 2021 started.
Departments continued to exercise good financial control and, as
we start 2022, we expect to add to fund balance again.
Over the course of 2021, COVID has continued to affect our
community. In County government, we have worked to maintain
service levels, keep the community informed, and protect County
County Administrator employees, customers, and individuals for whom we are directly
Martin D. Marshall responsible. Another way that COVID has affected the County is the
distribution of American Rescue Plan funds to the County. This act
of the federal government has provided Lenawee County with over
9.5 million dollars in 2021 and will bring a similar amount next year.
