The American Rescue Plan Act: Pitfalls and Best Practices

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) delivers $350 billion for eligible state, local, territorial and tribal governments to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article, originally published in the League of Wisconsin Municipalities’ The Municipality magazine, examines best practices and potential pitfalls associated with receiving, spending and tracking ARP funding.
