Sussex County is in the last year of spending its $45.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds. Gina Jennings, director of financing, said all monies must be committed by the end of this year.
Jennings provided an update on the funds during Sussex County Council’s March 19 meeting; she said council’s spending priorities include affordable housing and infrastructure.
Under ARPA, Sussex County received federal assistance aimed at COVID-19 pandemic recovery, and the county has since earmarked that funding for a variety of initiatives, including public safety, affordable housing, wastewater infrastructure, low-income services and other qualifying programs.
