Please provide feedback for FIVE suggested usages for the City of York American Rescue Plan Act funds.

York City American Rescue Plan Survey

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, including the public health and economic impacts. The ARP includes $350 billion in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.

The City of York's allocation is $35 million. Funds can be used to cover eligible costs incurred between March 3, 2021, and Dec 31, 2024. Funds must be obligated by December 31,2024 and expended by December 31, 2026.

The City of York is gathering input from citizens as we plan for spending its American Rescue Plan funding. 

Select only five concepts to provide feedback on. There is also space to provide comment on existing suggestions as well as your additional suggestions of uses.  

Keep in mind that $35.3 million needs to make lasting change in York City.  These are the categories given to us by the federal government, but we cannot afford to do everything that has been determined an acceptable expense.  We must make choices.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to improve our community.  We must support long-term impacts. 

Thank you,
Mayor Michael Helfrich
