Indiana: Under Gary Mayor Eddie Melton, the City Council has voted to spend $3.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to improve the city’s street lights and to provide grants to local nonprofits. Mayor Melton promised to seek such funding in April due to longtime complaints about darkness along the city’s roadways. The administration initially drafted the ordinance to include $2 million but increased the appropriation after several Gary-based organizations reached out for support.
