Arts & Culture Millage renewal on August ballot
Genesee County
Summary
The millage generates about $12 million a year for the Flint Cultural Center institutions. A 6-3 substitute vote reroutes the money through the county (rather than the foundation) starting in 2028 and lets commissioners fund other organizations — outcounty commissioners said their communities get little back.
