What is the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)?
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) into law making funds available to local governments to help the nation recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds can be used to:
- Support public health response,
- Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency,
- Replace lost public sector revenue,
- Provide premium pay for essential workers, and
- Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure.
Join us to share your thoughts about how we can maximize the impact of Chatham County's ARPA funds. Each person will have 5 to 10 minutes to share thoughts with staff. No sign-up or RSVP required.
