The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities today announced the formation of a statewide public-private advisory committee designed to help municipalities administer funding from the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.
In a statement, the organization said local governments will need some level of guidance when it comes to allocating and disbursing the expected influx of federal dollars.
“With the scale and depth of these unprecedented funds, CCM believes that establishing the [American Rescue Plan] Advisory Committee to assist towns and cities will provide an even greater return on these federal funds for local government,” said CCM Executive Director and CEO Joe DeLong.
According to DeLong, the advisory group will work with CCM member communities on a case-by-case basis to analyze and recommend uses for the stimulus money, as well as methods for keeping track of it.

This statewide coalition of minority entrepreneurs calls themselves “a digital mastermind group” and leaders say the shift to online meetings has deepened and strengthened their bonds and their businesses.
“We’ve connected all online,” said Ted Hsu, an Opus board member and organizer. “That’s proliferated to external events matching our individual customers with the broader membership.”
At Opus’ virtual weekly meetings, members share their capabilities and challenges, then seek help and networking support from fellow business owners. The virtual format allows for focused attention on each business and saves members time and energy once spent on getting to in-person events.
