RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper shared his budget recommendations for how the state can invest in recovery through the American Rescue Plan (ARP).
The state will get $5.7 billion in federal funds in what the governor called a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to invest in the state and in the recovery of the coronavirus pandemic.
"North Carolina’s funding from the American Rescue Plan positions our state for a shared recovery and allows us to create a North Carolina that works for all,” Gov. Cooper said.
