Project Abstracts Sought For American Rescue Plan Funding

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Residents, nonprofits, businesses and community leaders are invited to utilize a new portal designed to solicit project abstracts for American Rescue Plan funding proposals.

“We want to see residents, nonprofits, businesses, and community leaders provide project abstract proposals for this funding,” Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman said.

The portal, which can be accessed at https://www.aacounty.org/ProjectAbstractPortal, will be open for submissions through Sept. 30. The county’s ARP funding community survey identified interest in investing in health and human service resources, improved public infrastructure, passion for outdoor spaces and continued commitment to public safety programs.

“This is the next important step for aligning community priorities with the county executive’s strategy for a strong and equitable recovery through promoting health and wellness and implementing smart growth,” Anne Arundel County Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for Health And Human Services Pam Jordan said.

Anne Arundel County will receive a total of $112,509,414 in direct appropriations from the U.S. Treasury. The county received $56,254,707 May 19 and will receive the remaining balance May, 2022. All funds must be spent by Dec. 31, 2024.
