The American Rescue Plan

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), signed into law this past March, means billions of dollars to states, cities, and counties, with the aim of helping communities recover from the health and economic setbacks of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Ottawa County is set to receive nearly $57 Million in direct, flexible aid to fund public health and vaccines, assistance for vulnerable populations, education and housing stabilization, economic recovery assistance and direct assistance for families and and individuals.

The first half of those funds will be received shortly, and I would like to know what your priorities are for their investment.
