Our Mission
To protect and serve the citizens of Cass County by implementing and facilitating good sound business practices while trying to develop economic growth in our county.
Our History
Cass County was named in honor of General Lewis Cass of Michigan (governor of Michigan Territory through 1831), who was instrumental in the making of treaties with the Native Americans of the region. These treaties opened up the land in this area to white settlers. Cass County itself was formed by an act of the state legislature on December 18, 1828.

Cass County Opioid Settlement
Cass County administers an Opioid Settlement Microgrant Program funded through both restricted and unrestricted opioid settlement funds. The Cass County Commissioners have designated the Local Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council (JRAC) to serve as the county’s Opioid Settlement Review Committee.
The Local JRAC was selected for this role because it represents all intercepts of the local criminal justice system as well as the recovery community.

Submit Opioid Settlement Microgrant Proposals Here
Proposals are reviewed twice annually in January and July, beginning July 2023. Funding requests must be limited to a one-year project scope, with organizations eligible to reapply for additional funding on an annual basis, subject to the availability of funds. All proposals must align with approved opioid abatement uses or qualify under unrestricted fund use, and funds may not be used to supplant existing grant-funded programs. Applicants are required to submit a detailed proposal that includes program goals and objectives, expected outcomes, a clear budget and use of funds, and an explanation of how the proposed project aligns with opioid abatement uses.
Application Deadlines: June 30th & December 31st of Each Calendar Year
