As the country continues building back from COVID-19’s effects, the federal government created several funding options dedicated specifically to infrastructure and community development. This blog summarizes the American Rescue Plan (ARP) and potential opportunities open to communities seeking ways to address both COVID’s direct impacts, or problems exacerbated
by the pandemic.
The ARP passed in March 2021 with provisions to assist affected communities, including businesses and agencies. In May, the Department of Treasury issued an interim regulation outlining eligible funding for tribal governments, states, cities, counties, and territories.
ARP provides $350 billion for state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to address the pandemic’s economic impact through the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund.
CRITERIA 1: Projects required to maintain the level of service that meets health-based standards, climate-change resilience, or necessary to establish or improve broadband to unserved or underserved communities.
CRITERIA 2: Projects that produce high-quality infrastructure, avert disruptive and costly delays, and promote efficiency. Encouraged projects include water, wastewater, stormwater, transportation, and broadband projects using strong labor standards.
Depending on your community, the U.S. Department of Treasury has established different allocation amounts and rules which are summarized in the graphic below:
For more details on the allocation of these funds, you can download PDFs for States (Allocation), States (Split payments), Territories, Counties, Metropolitan Cities, and Non-Entitlement Units.
