Non-entitlement units of government (NEUs—all but eight of Michigan’s largest townships) that accepted American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds must complete their annual “Project and Expenditure Report” by April 30. Every NEU must complete the report, even if your township has already fully spent the funds. All ARPA funds must be fully expended by Dec. 31, 2026. Until your township closes out its award—including receiving confirmation from U.S. Treasury that the closeout is successful—townships must continue to file the annual report. NEUs must file their annual report by April 30, 2026, for expenditures from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026. A final report must be filed by April 30, 2027, covering April 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2026. Visit MTA’s “ARPA Resources and Updates” webpage for more information.
