As part of the American Rescue Plan, the county will get $100,235,109 to put toward COVID recovery. This money can go to individuals, families, and businesses, and be used to cover specific costs by local governments.
An online survey has been set up to see where people would like the money to be spent. You can take part and identify up to six priority areas where the money should be focused.
