Details:
The county is seeking respondents who will use ARPA funding to affect positive change in the community in three high-priority areas: workforce development and economic recovery; public health and public safety; and infrastructure and sustainability.
County Executive Bello’s Bring Monroe Back recovery initiative to use these ARPA funds builds on a dozen community and government-led plans, assessments and reports that have already engaged citizens, business owners and experts in their field. Using those reports, the county identified six focus areas where funding would be invested: Public Safety, Public Health and Wellness, Economic Recovery, Workforce Development, Infrastructure Improvements and Sustainability. A community wide survey, testimony from community organizations and three in-person community forums and one virtual public forum were used to help the Department of Planning refine a strategic vision for investing the ARPA funding.
ARPA was signed into law on March 11, 2021 and allocated $1.9 trillion in federal emergency relief and recovery funds, of which $350 billion was designated to support state, local, territorial and Tribal governments.
Funding Information
The county shall only consider proposals that have a budget of at least $100,000 per year, for up to four years and at least $400,000 for the entire project.
