ARPA Update - December 5, 2022

December 5, 2022 Update
 

The Town Council continues to discuss and receive additional information on ARPA proposals that have been submitted by Town and Board of Education staff and members of the public to date.

As of this writing, a total of $3,679,934 has been appropriated.  Additionally, during its December 1st meeting, the Town Council approved an appropriation in the amount of $75,000 to fund a Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan to improve connectivity in Town.  This project will be considered by the Board of Finance on December 12th.  A “Proposed Funding Plan” worksheet outlining these approved and proposed projects can be found HERE.
 
Assuming approval of all pending requests, the Town will have appropriated $3.78 of its $5.4 million ARPA allocation.  A total of about $1.6 million will remain unobligated.  Recommendations for the remainder of the funding are listed in gray at the bottom of the Proposed Funding Plan worksheet.  A pie chart illustrating the distribution of the appropriated (approved), proposed and unallocated ARPA funding by functional area can be found below.
