CANTON â With the American Rescue Plan disbursement process for New York localities still hazy, municipal officials and the townâs accounting firm are preparing to apply for Cantonâs share of the total $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package.
Angela M. Gray, of Gray & Gray and Associates, briefed Town Council Thursday on funding elements most directly impacting local governments.
Passed by Congress and signed by President Joseph R. Biden in March, the Rescue Plan allocated a total $350 billion to state, local, territorial and tribal governments. Local governments are categorized as either counties, cities or non-entitlement units (NEUs), like towns and villages having populations under 50,000.
