The American Rescue Plan Act has allocated significant financial
resources to federal agencies, state governments, and local governments
of all sizes. Should local governments use these resources to build
capital infrastructure or address economic challenges impacting the
community? How will any of these investments be sustainable in the long
run? In Planning Strategically for ARPA Funds, Institute of Government
faculty, the President of the Georgia Association of Regional
Commissions, and an officer of the Georgia City County Management
Association will discuss how to strategically use these funds while
engaging with the public and utilizing regional partnerships.
