Medford Names Manager To Guide Pandemic Aid Strategy

MEDFORD, MA — Medford has received nearly $50 million in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act and has hired a federal funds manager to guide the process of putting that money back into the community over the next few years.

Molly Kivi will work with the administration to set a strategy for the allocation of funds. She will collect input from the community and consider the priorities of residents and businesses.

The city will hold a community meeting on Wednesday, March 9 at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers and over Zoom. Attendees can learn more about ARPA funds, meet Kivi and ask her questions.

A survey will also be going out on how the money should be spent.

You can contact Molly at mkivi@medford-ma.gov, or visit the city's ARPA page at medfordma.org/arpa for more info.
