Tom Green County Has Extended Deadline to Apply for Federal ARPA Funds

SAN ANGELO – Tom Green County has extended the deadline to Friday, July 29 to apply for federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.  

The application for the Tom Green County ARPA Grant Program has re-opened until 7/29/2022 at 5pm CT for new applications.

Signed into law on March 11, 2021, The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) provides $350 billion in additional funding for state and local governments. Please click here for GFOA’s analysis of ARPA. The state funding portion is approximately $195 billion with $25.5 billion distributed equally among the 50 states and the District of Columbia and the remaining amount distributed according to a formula based on unemployment.

The local funding portion is approximately $130 billion, equally divided between cities and counties. Localities will receive the funds in two tranches–the first after the U.S. Treasury certifies the proceeds to each jurisdiction and the second one year later.
