HUNTERDON COUNTY, NJ - For the second straight county board meeting, commissioner J. Matthew Holt spoke about cautions with the American Rescue Plan funding, which could see as much as $24 million come to Hunterdon County.
The total, Holt said, is what the county was informed about as “earmarked by the federal government.”
The county said it is aware of potential for these funds to legally be allocated for paying COVID-19 pandemic-related expenses, covering lost revenues due to the pandemic, providing additional assistance to residents and small businesses and maintaining critical services and investments in water, sewer and broadband/internet infrastructure, among other possible uses.
