The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, the latest federal COVID-19 stimulus bill, will provide at least $405 million to the City of Milwaukee. City officials hail it as a great opportunity and great challenge.
The city is receiving $687 per capita, the 12th highest total out of the 100 largest cities, based on a formula that assigns funding based on poverty, housing crowding and relative population growth.

Each year, millions of dollars in contracts are awarded by the City of Milwaukee from major construction projects to office supplies. And every year, businesses owned by Blacks, Hispanics and other underrepresented groups, including women compete for those city dollars.
Now, a long simmering debate over whether the city s process for awarding contracts is equitable for those businesses may be coming to a head through a new study that is examining the city s contracting system.
The city s process for awarding contracts has long been race-neutral, which means race and gender cannot be used by the city as it awards contracts.
