American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds:
- I have an ask - we are seeking your input on how to spend funds the Town has received from The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), signed into law in March 2021. This is an economic stimulus bill designed to help communities recover from the economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- La Plata has received an initial allocation of $4.7 million of a total of $9.4 million. The remaining funds will be received by July 2022. All funds must be spent by December 2026.
Additional clarification about the annexation process:
- There have been recent discussions during the Public Forum at recent work sessions and business meetings about the annexation process.
I‘d like to again explain the annexation process and emphasize two public hearings are required, one by the Town Planning Commission and then a second by the Town Council.
