WASHINGTON (WETM) – Counties, cities, and towns across the country are expecting to receive funding from the American Rescue Plan, which was recently approved by the Senate. The bill now goes to the House of Representatives (where it’s expected to pass), and then on to the desk of President Joe Biden.
According to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the senior senator from New York, $3.907 billion of the $1.9 trillion plan goes to New York’s counties, with $825 million for the state’s small cities and towns.
Funds may be used by state and local governments for:
- Costs associated with responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including but not limited to, assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality
- To support workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers or by providing grants to eligible employers that have eligible workers who perform essential work
- To cover revenue losses caused by the COVID-19 public health emergency
- To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure
