SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY Suffolk County is slated to receive approximately $286 million in federal aid under the American Rescue Plan, Executive Steve Bellone announced Thursday.
The money will help prevent layoffs and avoid the planned budget cuts to public safety, transportation and contract agencies that were expected to be implemented in July, Bellone said. The county will also be able to continue providing essential services to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
The funds come as an agreement with legislative leadership due to the unprecedented economic and fiscal environment created by COVID-19.
