American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Information
The City of Bangor was fortunate to be awarded $20.48 million in ARPA funding, through the Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Fund.
The intent of the funding is to provide governments with the resources needed to respond to the pandemic and its economic effects and to build a stronger, more equitable economy during the recovery.
This ARPA funding is a historic opportunity for the City to make transformative investments within our community that will benefit our constituents for decades.
The final rule governing the use and reporting thereof was issued on January 7, 2022 and must be fully expended by December 31, 2026.
Neighborhood meetings will be held in four locations around the City. These meetings will be informal and conversational in nature. Staff will be on hand to provide information on a variety of programs and services offered to residents as well.
