Commission Chambers's Personal Meeting Room

The Wayne County Commission meeting on October 2, 2026 included approval of three prosecutor’s-office grant agreements for FY2027. The grants included $1,324,916 for the Crime Victim Rights Program and $158,353 for responsive services for crime victims, both with no county match, and a STOP violence grant described as covering three assistant prosecuting attorneys with a 25% county match; the transcript’s amount for that grant is garbled. Officials said the agreements needed approval by that day to avoid charging costs to the county general fund. The commission also approved committee reports, though the transcript does not detail their individual spending items.

Commissioners discussed a HOME-ARP substantial amendment that would redirect roughly $10 million toward permanent supportive housing. Staff estimated it could help fund six or seven projects and support up to about 100 housing units; the related motion carried. The commission also debated the executive’s veto of resolutions concerning tax benefits for Project Canoli, a proposed Van Buren Township data center, with a potential county fiscal impact of about $20 million over 12 years. A motion to override the veto was made, but the transcript does not capture the vote or its result. No contract awards or competitive solicitations were identified.
