THE ARPA OFFICE ADMINISTERS THE FOLLOWING TWO MAJOR PROGRAMS FUNDED THROUGH THE U. S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT:

 

CORONAVIRUS STATE LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUND – $82,194,453          ENDS SEPTEMBER 30, 2025

The County is using these funds to help support a strong and equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn.  This is being accomplished by funding the four major allowable uses:

  1. Respond to the public health emergency (COVID-19) or its negative economic impacts.
  2. Provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency.
  3. Make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure.
  4. Respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers.
