Tracking county rescue plan funds
The Franklin County Commissioners have
launched a new webpage where residents can track
how the county uses funds from the American Rescue
Plan (ARP) to help the community recover from the
pandemic.
The site, Recovery.FranklinCountyOhio.gov provides
information about the ARP, what it means for
Franklin County, a graph of expenditures so far, and
links to information about the individual expenditures.
The commissioners have already allocated more than
$26 million for recovery.
“Our community will be feeling the effects of the
pandemic for years to come,” said board president
Kevin Boyce. “We got lots of input from our residents
about how we can best use this money to help them
and their families, and this webpage represents an
unprecedented level of transparency in how we’re
going to use this funding so that they can see in realtime
what we’re doing to help them recover.”
The American Rescue Plan was passed by Congress
and signed into law by President Joe Biden to help
Americans who are suffering from the ongoing effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes significant federal
resources to support a strong public health
response and vaccination strategy, provide direct
assistance to families, and deliver resources to local
governments to use in their own communities.
Franklin County will be receiving $256 million over
the next two years. Other parts of the ARP provided
resources for schools, healthcare providers, public
health agencies, and small businesses.
“The American Rescue Plan is important legislation
and provides significant resources to help our residents
recover, so we’re really glad to be able to get
those out into the community and working for
Franklin County families right away,” said commissioner
John O’Grady. “The new site provides important
information and resources, as well as a window
into our funding priorities.”
The commissioners held a public hearing and
solicited written testimony from the community to
learn about the challenges residents have faced over
the past 18 months and how they think this funding
can best be used to aid in recovery. Video of that hearing
and text of the written testimony can be found on
the commissioners’ new webpage along with federally
mandated reports on ARP spending and a link for residents
to continue to submit ideas for recovery funding.
“Too many Franklin County families were already
struggling before the pandemic, and the pandemic only
intensified these difficulties,” said commissioner Erica
Crawley. “The funding through the American Rescue
Plan is a lifeline to our county, our government and our
community partners. It will funnel desperately needed
resources to help our community recover and deal with
the impacts of the ongoing pandemic. We will ensure
the funding helps the most marginalized members of
our community, who were harmed most by the pandemic.”
An update to the commissioners’ American Rescue
Plan webpage is already planned, and will connect residents
in need directly to the resources that the commissioners
have funded with ARP dollars.
