Maple Grove Got $5.1M From American Rescue Plan: See How That Compares

MAPLE GROVE, MN — Maple Grove was one of more than 20 cities in Minnesota to receive direct payments from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. The city was awarded just over $5.1 million from the coronavirus-relief program, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

ARPA funding to local, state and tribal governments across the country totaled $350 billion, which was meant to help officials respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and “address disparities in communities hardest hit by the pandemic,” the Treasury Department said.

The American Rescue Plan Act sent $2.8 billion in coronavirus-relief funding to Minnesota.

State and local governments can use the funding to replace lost public sector revenue; respond to pandemic-related public health and economic impacts; provide extra pay for essential workers; and invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure.

Maple Grove's ARPA allocation of $5,109,436 was the third-smallest among the 21 Minnesota cities that received direct funding from the program.

Maple Grove officials said in January that they planned to spend some of that funding to help businesses and nonprofits, including the Maple Grove Hospital and CROSS Services, with grant recovery programs, CCX Media reported.
