ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) - For Your Information
|
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) included $350 billion in pandemic-related aid for state and local governments. Vermont will receive more than $1.25 billion of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funding from ARPA. While the legislature and the governor will determine how more than $1 billion of that funding will be spent, Congress directed nearly $200 million of that funding directly to Vermont’s cities, towns, and villages. City councils and selectboards will have discretion over how to spend their allocations.
ARPA includes four broad criteria outlining eligible uses:
Expenditure categories have been identified by the Treasury with areas of focus where funds can be applied. Each category has its own set of requirements when monies are applied and those details are still being formulated and interpreted from the Interim Final Rule. Over the coming months the Town will be identifying areas of interest from this list. Stay tuned for updates on progress in this regard.... |
