• Programs responding to Negative Economic Impacts; and
• Reimbursement of Revenue loss and COVID related expenditures (with limitations).

Applications are due by Sept. 30, and will be reviewed by the ARPA Committee throughout November. The organization(s) awarded with the funding will be announced at the
