American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) 

ARPA Background

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021, and provides $350 billion for eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to meet pandemic response needs and rebuild a stronger, more equitable economy as the country recovers. The County of Chester was awarded approximately $102 million in ARPA funds.

Applications

Chester County received over 300 applications for funding requests from municipalities, public authorities, small businesses, and non-profit organizations that are located within, or provide substantial service to, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

A major overarching goal for the County is to ensure that the SLFRF funds are used to assist communities throughout Chester County. For this reason, the application was marketed to interested County departments, municipalities, small businesses, and non-profit organizations across the jurisdiction. In response, the County received applications from a variety of geographic locations. A visualization of this geographic diversity can be found here.
