American Rescue Plan Act

Looking over downtown Helena at night

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021 and established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) program. Through this program, $350 billion was provided to State, territorial, local and Tribal governments to support their response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency. Specifically, eligible categories of expenditures for SLFRF funding as established by the U.S. Treasury are: 

  • Support public health expenditures related to the COVID-19 emergency  
  • Address negative economic impacts caused by the pandemic 
  • Replace lost public sector (Lewis and Clark County) revenue, support public services, and retain jobs  
  • Invest in necessary water, sewer and broadband infrastructure

Lewis and Clark County’s total ARPA funding allocation was $13,486,352. The Board of County Commissioners has fully obligated all ARPA funds. You can find a full list of funded projects and status of projects here:
