Portland and Multnomah County officials say they’re on track to spend all of the millions in federal coronavirus aid they’ve received as the end-of-year deadline looms.
Nearly $170 million poured into city and county coffers from the federal CARES Act since April, according to figures reviewed by The Oregonian/OregonLive.
Any funds not used by Dec. 30 must be returned to the federal government.
The assurances by Oregon’s most populous city and county that they will not have to forfeit portions of the aid come as each scramble to exhaust their pandemic assistance in the home stretch.
