Town Of Wakefield: Have A Suggestion For Use Of ARPA Funds?

Press release from the Town of Wakefield:

January 4, 2022

The federal American Rescue Plan Act, commonly known as ARPA, is providing funds to the Commonwealth and its municipalities from the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund and Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. Wakefield is slated to receive about $8 million through the ARPA program.

Last month, Wakefield’s Town Council and Town Administrator hosted a public infosession with members of the community. Participants learned about the types of projects than can and cannot be funded via ARPA and had the opportunity to discuss each of the eligible categories through virtual break-out sessions. If you were unable to attend but have a suggestion, let us know. If you did attend and have since thought of a new idea, please share it!
