 American Rescue Plan

About the ARP

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law on March 11, 2021, as a way to speed up the recovery from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part

of the ARP, the Federal Government has released over $350 billion for local and state governments and the City of East Wenatchee was awarded a total of $3.1 million, with $1.55

million being available now and the other $1.55 million will become available in May of 2022.

These funds are designated for local non-profits who serve East Wenatchee and qualify under one of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s independent categories, as listed in

their rules and guidance. These categories include:

    Public Health – Containing COVID-19 and addressing other urgent public health needs;

    Economic Hardship – Supporting families, small businesses and hardest-hit industries;

    Revenue Loss – Providing vital public services, to the extent of revenue lost during the pandemic;

    Premium Pay – Offering enhanced compensation for the health and financial risks that essential workers face; and

    Water, Sewer, and Broadband Infrastructure – Investing in key infrastructure to deliver clean water and reliable broadband internet access.
