Marathon County Executive Committee Meeting Pt.2 - 7/15/26

The Marathon County Executive Committee meeting on July 15, 2026, focused primarily on updates regarding FEMA disaster assistance following severe thunderstorms in April. The discussion detailed the availability of individual assistance through FEMA grants and SBA low-interest loans for affected residents, businesses, and nonprofits. The committee highlighted the opening of a Business Recovery Center and a Disaster Recovery Center to support applications and recovery efforts. Public assistance for government infrastructure was also reviewed, with the county deciding not to pursue an appeal due to not meeting the required damage threshold. The committee emphasized ongoing public information efforts and coordination with community partners to facilitate access to aid. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the information shared could influence future county recovery-related procurement activities.
