GROW RACINE
Mayor Mason Message
Thanks to President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) the City of Racine was able to create the GROW Racine Program and through it say to city residents: we believe in you, we believe you are worthy, and we believe in you and your family’s future.
My administration’s goal for GROW was to address longstanding disparities and inequities by assisting residents attain their high school diplomas, access careers in the trades, provide information to increase financial stability and homeownership, and offer resources for home repair.
As Mayor of the City of Racine, I am proud of everyone who put in the hard work to achieve their goals!
While the GROW Racine Scholarship program has ended, the following programs that took root with ARPA funding will continue:
- Youth Employment Program, Fire Cadet and Firefighter/EMS Internship
- Financial Empowerment Center
- Neighborhood TID Program (Home Rehab)
I am confident that together we will continue to grow and transform Racine!
