The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law by President Biden on March 11, 2021, providing direct funding to all cities, towns, and villages across the United States. The U.S. Department of the Treasury is responsible for overseeing the program.
The Town of North East aimed to strategically allocate these funds to address a variety of community needs, including improvements to drinking water infrastructure, upgrades to policing equipment, enhancements to recreational facilities at our community park, general infrastructure improvements, and other essential projects. The following press releases provide additional details on the various projects funded through ARPA. All projects were approved by the Town Board prior to implementation.
