Recovery and Reinvestment Act

HCC Received American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Funds Holmes Community College announced that it has been awarded $971,759 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. ARRA funds are part of an unprecedented economic stimulus package enacted by Congress to help stabilize state budgets. Governor Haley Barbour provided funding to Mississippi's community and junior colleges from discretionary funds included under the State Fiscal Stabilization Act. The funds will be used to assist in meeting the cost of utilities at the college's three campuses and centers throughout the nine-county district. Dr. Glenn F. Boyce, President of Holmes Community College, said: "Due to unprecedented economic challenges, the college was forced to reallocate funding and eliminate some positions. These cuts would have been much deeper had we not had the ARRA funding support. The college is most appreciative of the stimulus funding received from the Governor's office and is committed to creating transparency and accountability for expenditures of these funds." The ARRA contact person at Holmes Community College is Steve Caldwell, Executive Vice President. Mr. Caldwell can be contacted via email at scaldwell@holmescc.edu or telephone (662) 472-9015.
