Civil Municipal - Feb 2024

Delivering additional funding, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), also known as the COVID-19 Stimulus Package, is a substantial $1.9 trillion economic measure. This U.S. Congress legislative milestone hastens the nation’s recovery from the dual challenges posed by the economic and health repercussions of the pandemic. The ARPA plays a pivotal role in addressing and mitigating the widespread effects of this unprecedented global crisis. Through a request approved by the Mayor, the district received $16 million in ARPA funding. Pimentel explains, “It has been broken down into categories to help growth.” “The Mayor allocated money for businesses to update their storefront signage and façade,” adds Castillo. Handled shrewdly, the money will transform the area into a one-stop nucleus for commerce and housing. Small businesses, like the Mill Cities Community Investments (MCCI), benefit from the mayor’s support.
