GovExec Daily: How Cities are Using ARPA Money to Cover Lost Revenue

Andrea Noble joins the podcast to discuss how American Rescue Plan Act funds are helping cities stay solvent and continue critical services.

The pandemic has taken a heavy economic toll on municipalities across America. As a result, two-thirds of U.S. cities are planning to use funds from the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act to cover lost revenue. The National League of Cities annual fiscal survey, released last Tuesday, underscored how important federal funding has been for maintaining services and mitigating the financial impact of the pandemic. 

Andrea Noble is a staff correspondent for Routefifty.com she joins the show to discuss her reporting on the issue and much more.
