American Rescue Plan Town Hall

In March 2021, President Biden and the US Congress approved the American Rescue Spending Act of 2021 which provided resources for fiscal recovery due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in the act was funding for state and local governments.

On Thursday, January 13th at 5:30 pm, Mayor Keffer and Township Council hosted a virtual town hall to get input and feedback on the proposed spending for the American Rescue Plan funds. Mayor Keffer has provided Council with a proposed spending structure for these funds. While this is an important investment in our community, it is critical to understand that the federal government has very strict guidelines for how we are and are not permitted to spend these resources. The goal is to identify a spending structure from which specific programs will be designed.

The slides from the presentation are available HERE.
