Past event
Dec 7, 2021, 6 PM

Barre Town is receiving $2.3 million in federal funds to help our community recover from the impact the pandemic has had, and invest in the future. (You may see these funds referred to as CLFRF, which stands for Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, or ARPA, after the American Rescue Plan Act that created the funding program.)

*The Selectboard welcomes public input on how to best spend these funds.*

PLEASE NOTE, what the town is allowed to spend the money on is limited to six big categories:
-public health
-negative economic impacts
-services to disproportionately impacted communities
-premium pay
-infrastructure (wastewater stormwater, drinking water, and broadband)
-revenue replacement
-related administrative expenses.
