The Kalamazoo County Board Committee of the Whole planned a feasibility study for a county fair to boost community engagement and showcase 4-H programs. Funding discussions focus on community projects, including RX Kids to address infant mortality in Kalamazoo, support for the YWCA reproductive health fund, and an advanced technology wing at Kalamazoo Valley Community College (KVCC). Commissioners express varied opinions on these initiatives, highlighting the need for strategic community investment and budget management. The board considers establishing a community grants program to align with county priorities and enhance participatory budgeting.
