Regional Meetings for ARPA Local Government Funding
On March 11, President Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 establishing the $350 billion Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, $150 billion of which is earmarked for distribution to local and tribal governments. Generally, allowable uses of the fund include (but are not limited to):
Responding to or mitigating the COVID-19 public health emergency;
Providing government services to the extent of a reduction in revenue;
Making necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure;
Responding to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers.
