County of Tulare ARPA Interim Recovery Plan (2021) and ARPA Final Recovery Plan (2022).
On March 11, 2021, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law by President Biden to address the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, and businesses. The legislation established $350 billion in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) specifically for state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to use in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing its economic fallout, and laying the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery. Tulare County's share of the SLFRF is $90,552,914. These funds are intended to cover eligible costs incurred from March 3, 2021, through December 31, 2024.
