Recently, we have been diving into what the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 can mean for our community. ARPA is a $1.9 trillion federal coronavirus relief funding package that will deliver funding at the federal, state and local levels. Through ARPA allocations to local government, Bloomington will receive about $22.27 million, Ellettsville will receive about $1.41 million and Monroe County will receive about $28.79 million.
Based on federal guidelines, funds can be used to: (1) Respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts; (2) Provide premium pay to eligible essential workers; (3) Replace lost government revenue; and (4) Make necessary investments in water, sewer or broadband infrastructure.

The past year has been rough, but with the federal government s help, it has not been as brutal on state and local governments finances as originally feared. No one who works on a municipal budget feels relaxed, but the doomsday scenario of plummeting tax receipts and massive service cuts hasn t materialized.
Now, with the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, city and state governments are in line to receive billions to assist in the rebuild from the pandemic s economic damage. The money is allocated under the Community Development Block Grant formula, which means cities like Cleveland, with relatively higher levels of poverty and older housing stock, benefit more than other places. Cleveland will receive an estimated $541 million over two years, the most of any Ohio city. Akron is set to get about $153 million.
