North Carolina cities and towns will receive $1.3 billion in
federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds in 2021 and 2022. That is
a staggering number, and it encompasses
just a small piece of the ARP. More funds will be sent to
North Carolina counties. Still more is going to the state itself.
Never before has money flowed directly to our cities and towns like
it will through the ARP, and as such, it is a generational
opportunity—to both recover from the pandemic and to prosper well
into the future.
