(TNS) The mammoth $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief and stimulus bill enacted last week will deliver to the Cullman area a significant infusion of new money to county and municipal governments. The question is how will it be spent?
States, counties, and municipalities nationwide are set to receive $350 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law last week. Overall, Alabama is expected to receive $4.043 billion in funding, according to the state Department of Finance, with $2.1 billion going toward a statewide COVID-19 relief fund.
